You see it all around you
Good loving gone bad
And usually it's too late when you
Realize what you hadAnd my mind goes back
To a girl I left some years ago
Who told meJust 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 inIt's so damn easy
When your feelings are such
To overprotect her
To love her too muchAnd my mind goes back
To a girl I left some years ago
Who told meJust 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 inDon't let her slip away
Sentimental fool
Don't let your heart get in the wayYou see it all around you
Good loving gone bad
And usually it's too late when you
Realize what you hadSo 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 inSo 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, yeahSo hold on loosely but don't let go
If you cling too tightly
You're gonna lose controlHold on loosely but don't let her go
If you cling too tightly to her
You're gonna lose control
