Hold What You’ve Got Lyrics

Carly Simon

You had better hold on
Hold on to what you′ve got
You had better hold on
Hold on to what you've got

′Cause if you think nobody wants it
Just throw it away and you will see
Somebody will have it
Before you can count one, two, three
Yes they will, yes they will

You women out there
Boy, it's hard to find a good and sensitive man
A man who loves you for who you are
Who really appreciates you
And you know this guy
I mean you start up with a new man
And something you don't know about him
Just might hurt you
So stick with your man
Don′t ever take him for granted

′Cause if you think nobody wants him
Just throw him away and you will see
Some woman will have your man
Before you can count one, two, three
Yes she will, yes she will

Same goes for you men
There are so many women out there
Who just want to break your heart
You got a woman who plays fair
Who you can trust
And hey, she's fun to be with
Don′t expect any one woman
To fulfill every one of your needs
They're only human too
Besides which, it′s cooler for you to be faithful

And if you think nobody wants her
Just let her out on the street and you will see
Some other man will have her
Before you can count one, two, three
Yes he will, yes he will

You take love for granted
Then it's gone like a bandit
And this loneliness cuts like a knife
When you see what you lost
And it′s already cost
The one you could love your whole life

You better hold on
Hold on to what you've got
You had better hold on
Hold on to what you've got
You had better hold on
Hold on to what you′ve got
You had better hold on
Hold on to what you′ve got
You had better hold on
Hold on to what you've got
