Lyrics:

You see it all around you

Good loving 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 her 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
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 her 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
Don't let her slip away

Sentimental fool

Don't let your heart get in the way
You see it all around you

Good loving gone bad

And usually it's too late when you

Realize what you had
So hold on loosely but don't let her 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
So hold on loosely but don't let her go

If you cling too tightly

You're gonna lose it

You're gonna lose control

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
So hold on loosely but don't let her go

If you cling too tightly

You're gonna lose control
Hold on loosely but don't let her go

If you cling too tightly to her

You're gonna lose control

Yeah, yeah, yeah
