hold on loosely

Joe Bonamassa

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
