Hold What You've Got - Joe Tex

You had better hold on

Hold on to what you got

You had better hold on

Hold on to what you got

'Cause if you think nobody wants it

Just throw it away and you will see

Someone will have it

Before you can count

1 2 3 yes they will yes they will

Listen fellas

You know it's not all the time

That a man can have a good woman

A woman that he can call his very own

A woman who'll stay right there at home

And mind the children while he's gone to work

A woman who'll have his dinner cooked when

He comes home

Where some men make mistakes is when they go

Out and stay because they feel that no other man

Wants his woman but him

But listen

If you think no other man wants her

Just throw her away and you will see

Some man will have her

Before you can count

1 2 3

Yes they will yes he will

Ha ha listen girls

This goes for you too

Because you know I've seen so many women

Who've had so many good men in life

Men who would stand by 'em through thick and thin

Men who would go to work everyday and bring home

Their hard earned pay

Men who would give their women anything that their

Little heart desired

Where some women make mistakes

Is when their men go out and let 'em play

They would stay because they felt that no other

Woman wanted him but her

Listen

If you think that no other woman wants him

Just pitch him out in the streets and you will see

Some woman will have your man

Before you can count

1 2 3

Yes you will yes you will
