Hold On Loosely Lyrics

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
If you cling too tight babe
You're gonna loose 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
Yeah, yeah, yeah

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
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
Just hold on loosely
But 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
If you cling too tight, babe
You're gonna loose control

Hold on loosely
But don't let go
If you cling too tightly to her
You're gonna loose control
Yeah, yeah, yeah

What is the Meaning of Hold On Loosely?

This classic rock anthem is a poignant exploration of the delicate balance required in maintaining a healthy romantic relationship. The lyrics emphasize the importance of giving your partner space and not being overly possessive or controlling, as this can lead to loss of control and potentially, the end of the relationship. The repeated phrase "hold on loosely but don't let go" encapsulates the overall message: love should be secure but not suffocating, allowing room for individual growth and autonomy. The song also highlights the pain of regret when one realizes too late what they had, reinforcing the need to appreciate and respect your partner's needs in real-time.
