Lyrics
You had better hold on
Hold on to what you've got
You had 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
One, two, three
Yes, they will, yes, they will
Now, 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'll stay right 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 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 it
Just throw her away and you will see
Some man will have her before you can count
One, two, three
Yes, he will, yes, he will
And 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'd stand by them through thick and thin
Men who'd go to work every day
And bring home their hard-earned pay
Men who'd give their women anything that their little hearts desire
Where some women make mistakes is when their men go out to play
They let him because they think no other woman would want him but her
Well, listen
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
