Hold On To What You’ve Got

[Intro]
You had a-better hold on
Hold on to what you got
You had a-better hold on
Hold on to what you got

[Chorus]
'Cause if you think nobody wants it
Just throw it away, and you will see
Someone will have it
Before you can count one, two, three
Yes they will, yes they will

[Verse 1]
Listen, fellas
You know it's not all the time
That a man can have a good woman
A woman that he can call his very own
A woman who will stay there at home and mind the children
While he's gone to work
A woman who'll have his dinner cooked when he comes home
Where some make mistakes
Is when they go out and stay
Because they feel that no other man
Want his woman but him, but listen

[Chorus]
If you think no other man wants her
Just throw her away, and you will see
Some man will have her
Before you can count one, two, three
Yes they will, yes he will

[Verse 2]
Haha, listen, girls
This one goes for you, too
Because you know I've seen so many women
Who've had so many good men in life
Men who would stand by 'em through thick and thin
Men who would go to work every day
And bring home their hard-earned pay
Men who would give their women
Anything their little heart desired
Where some women make mistakes
Is when their men go and let 'em play, they would stay
Because they feel that no other women
Wanted him but her, listen

[Chorus]
If you think no other woman wants him
Just pitch him out in the streets, and you will see
Some woman will have your man
Before you can count one, two, three
Yes she will, yes she will
