Artist/Band: Carly Simon
Lyrics for Song: Hold What You've Got
Lyrics for Album: Coming Around Again [1987]



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 wants it

Just throw it away

And you will see

Somebody will have it

Before you can count 1-2-3

Yes they will

Yes they will



(Spoken)

You women out there

Boy, it's hard to find a good and sensitive man

A man who loves you for who you are

Who really appreciates you

And you know this guy

I mean you start up with a new man

And something you don't know about him

Just might hurt you

So stick with your man

Don't ever take him for granted



'Cause if you think

Nobody wants it

Just throw it away

And you will see

Some woman will have your man

Before you can count 1-2-3

Yes she will

Yes she will



(Spoken)

Same goes for you men

There are so many women out there

That just want to break your heart

You got a woman that plays fair

That you can trust?

And hey, she's fun to be with

Don't expect any one woman to fulfill every one of your needs

They're only human too

Besides which, it's cooler for you to be faithful



And if you think

Nobody wants her

Just let her out on the street

And you will see

Some other man will have her

Before you can count 1-2-3

Yes he will

Yes he will



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

And it's already cost

The one you could love your whole life



You'd better hold on

Hold on to what you've got

You had better hold on

Hold on to what you've got
