Intro

    

Verse 1

You see it all around you - good lovin' gone bad.
And usually it's too late when you realize what you had.
And my mind goes back to a girl I left some years ago, who told me,
"Just 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 in."

Verse 2

It's so damn easy when your feelings are such
To overprotect her, to love her too much.
And my mind goes back to a girl I left some years ago, who told me,
"Just hold on loosely, but don't let go.   
If you cling too tight, babe, you're gonna lose control.
Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in."

Bridge

Don't let her slip a -
way, sentimental
fool, Don't let your heart get
in her way.   

Verse 3

You see it all around you - good lovin' gone bad.
And usually it's too late when you realize what you had.
So hold on loosely, but don't let go.   
If you cling too tight babe, you're gonna lose control.
Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in.

Outro

So hold on loosely, but don't let go.   
If you cling too tight babe, you're gonna lose it
You're gonna lose control.
