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 some years ago, 

Who told me 

Just Hold On Loosely 

But don't let go 

If you cling to 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 some years ago 



Who told me 

Just Hold On Loosely 

But don't let go 

If you cling too tight babe 

You're gonna loose 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 her 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 

And my mind goes back to a girl I left some years ago 

Who told me 



Just Hold On Loosely 

But don't let go 

If you cling to 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 tight babe 

You're gonna lose it 

You're gonna, lose control 



Yeah, yeah, yeah 

Just Hold On Loosely 

But don't let go 

If you cling too tight babe 

You're gonna loose control
