Hold On To What You've Got - Joe Tex

You'd better hold on hold on to what you've got

You'd better hold on hold on to what you've got

Cause if you think nobody wants it

Just throw it away and you will see

Someone will have it before you can count 1 2 3

Yes they will yes they will

Listen fellows you know it's not all the time

That a man can have a good woman

Woman that can call his very own

A woman who will stay right there at home

And mind the children while he's gone to work

A woman who will have his dinner cooked

When he comes home

Where some men make mistakes is

When they go out and stay because they feel that

No other man wants his woman but him

Well listen if you think no other man wants her

Just throw her away and you will see

Some men will have her before you can count 1 2 3

Yes he will yes he will

Listen girls this 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 them thru thick and thin

Men who'd go to work every day and

Bring home their hard earned pay

Men who'd give their woman anything

Their little hearts desired

Where some women make mistakes is

When their men go out and let them play they would stay

Because they felt that no other woman wanted him but her

Listen if you think no other woman wants him

Just pitch him out in the street and you will see

Some woman will have your man

Before you can count 1 2 3

Yes she will yes she will
