You see it all around you
Good lovin' 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 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 go (Don't let go)
If you cling too tight, babe
You're gonna lose control (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 her way
You see it all around you
Good lovin' gone bad
And usually it's too late when you realize what you had

Just hold on loosely
But don't let go (Don't let go)
If you cling too tightly
You're gonna lose control (Lose control)
Your baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe in
Just hold on loosely
But don't let go (Don't let go)
If you cling too tight, babe
You're gonna lose it
You're gonna lose control
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Just hold on loosely
But don't let go (Don't let go)
You're gonna lose control (Lose control)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh, ooh
Come on, come on, come on
