Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

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
