(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
