(joe tex, additional words & music by carly simon)
You had better hold on
Hold on to what youve got
You had better hold on
Hold on to what youve 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 its gone like a bandit
And this loneliness cuts like a knife
When you see what youve lost
Its already cost
The one you could love your whole life
