Hold On To What You`ve Got — текст песни (Gilbert O`sullivan)

I`ve been over and I`ve been under
Been through all kinds of hell
Trouble was not only my middle name
It was my first as well
Through the years all I`ve encountered
I`ve lust one thing to say
Hold on to what you got
And don`t let it slip away

I`ve been taken for far more rides
To places I`ve never been,
Stabbed so many times in the back
I so longer feel a thing
Ask me what all this has taught me
And I`ll tell you what I`ll say
Hold on ...
Save it for a rainy day
And keep a watchful eye on anyone that tells you lies
See that it`s true
You get what your entitled to

I was brought up same as you were
No different and no worse
You could be sure my mother would hit me
If I tampered with her purse

All my life has been a lesson
The most Important to date
Hold on to what you got
And don`t let It slip away.
