[Verse]
You see it all around you
Good loving gone bad
And it's usually too late when you
Realize what you had

[Pre-Chorus]
And my mind goes back
To a girl I left some years ago
Who told me

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Don't let her slip away
Sentimental fool
Don't let your heart get in her way
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse]
You see it all around you
Good loving gone bad
And it's usually too late when you
Realize what you had
[Chorus]
So hold on loosely
Well, don't let go
If you hold too tightly to her
You're gonna lose control
Yeah, yeah, yeah
