[Verse 1]
You see it all around you
Good loving gone bad
And usually it's 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
[Verse 2]
It's so damn easy
When your feelings are such
To overprotect her
To love her too much
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Don't let her slip away
Sentimental fool
Don't let your heart get in the way
[Verse 1]
[Chorus]
[Alt. Chorus 1]
So hold on loosely but don't let her go
If you cling too tightly
You're gonna lose it
You're gonna lose control
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Alt. Chorus 2]
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 her go
If you cling too tightly to her
You're gonna lose control
Yeah, yeah, yeah
