Hold What You've Got Lyrics by Simon Carly
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
(Joe Tex, Additional words & music by 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 else wants it
Just throw it away
And you will see
Somebody else will have it
Before you can count 1-2-3
You take love for granted
And it's gone like a bandit
And this loneliness cuts like a knife
When you see what you've lost
It's already cost
The one you could love your whole life
(Joe Tex, Additional words & music by 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 else wants it  Just throw it away  And you will see  Somebody else will have it  Before you can count 1-2-3  You take love for granted  And it's gone like a bandit  And this loneliness cuts like a knife  When you see what you've lost  It's already cost  The one you could love your whole life
