Hold On Loosely - 38 Special

Written by：Richard Donald Barnes/Jeff Carlisi/James Peterik/Richard Barnes/Jeffrey S. Carlisi

You see it all around you

Good lovin' gone bad

And usually it's too late when you

Realize what you had

And my mind goes back to a girl I left

Long years ago who told me

Just hold on loosely

But don't let go

If you cling too tightly

You're gonna lose control

Your baby needs someone to believe in

And a whole lot of space to breathe in

It's so damn easy

When your feelings are such

To overprotect her

To love her too much

And my mind goes back to a girl I left

Long years ago who told me

Just hold on loosely

But don't let go

If you cling too tightly

You're gonna lose control

Your baby needs someone to believe in

And a whole lot of space to breathe in

Don't let her slip away

Sentimental fool

Don't let your heart get in the way

Yeah yeah yeah

You see it all around you

Good lovin' gone bad

And usually it's too late when you

Realize what you had

So hold on loosely

But don't let go

If you cling too tightly

You're gonna lose control

Your baby needs someone to believe in

And a whole lot of space to breathe in

So hold on loosely

But don't let go

If you cling too tightly

You're gonna lose it

You're gonna lose control

Yeah yeah yeah yeah

So hold on loosely

But don't let go

If you cling too tightly

You're gonna lose control

Hold on loosely

But don't let go

If you cling too tightly to her

You're gonna lose control yeah yeah yeah
