You see it all around you
Good lovin' gone bad
And usually it's too late when you
Realize what you hadAnd my mind goes back to a girl I met
Some years ago who told me
Just hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling too tightly
You're gonna lose controlYour baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe inIt's so damn easy
When you feel her soft touch
To overprotect her
To love her too much
And my mind goes back to a girl I met
Some years ago who told meJust hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling too tightly
You're gonna lose controlYour baby needs someone to believe in
And a whole lot of space to breathe inDon't let her slip away
Sentimental fool
Don't let your heart get in the way
Yeah, yeah, yeahYou see it all around you
