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 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 it’s gone like a bandit
   And this loneliness cuts like a knife
  
   When you see what you’ve lost
   It’s already cost
   The one you could love your whole life
