HOLD ON LOOSELY
38 Special

You see it all around you
Good lovin' gone bad
And you believe it's too late
When you realize what you had

And my mind goes back to a girl that
I left some 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 

So damn easy 
When your feelings are such 
To over-protect her
To love her too much
And my mind goes back to a girl that 
I left some 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
