Hold On To What You've Got

I like taking chances,
especially when it comes to love.
But L-O-V-E
is not the the kind of word I speak lightly of.

It's so romantic,
the reflection of the moon on a Carribbean cruise.
But there's another reflection
I see against the water:
Another man in your shoes.

I know you'll find a saying like
Handsome whirlwind
He's the reason I believe
money can't buy me love.

And since money is your top priority,
I suggest you hold on
to what you've got.
If I had it I know just who I would spend it on.

Hold on
to what you've got,
'cause I'll be holding on to love.
Ooh

You shouldn't have no problem
with women, there are those out there
who would love to play your game
just for the fun of it,
but I don't care.

I'm your secretary on the job,
I hope that never ends.
We may have to see each other,
so if we can't be lovers,
we can still be friends.

Business, people, pleasure
should be on your mind, boy.
When it comes to loving me,
you're wasting your time.

Better give your love
to who's loving you,
so they can be hugging you.

Hold on
to what you've got.
Now I know I've got somebody
who is good this time.

Better hold on
to what you've got,
'cause I'll be holding on to love.
Better hold on

I really love my work,
but you're getting bold.
And that's something
you fail to realize.

But if you keep it up,
I'll have to take control.
'Cause you can't put a
swift, good loving on hold.

No no no,
it just won't go.
No no no

You're wasting your time.

Better give your love
to who's loving you,
so they can be hugging you.

Hold on
to what you've got.
Now I know I've got somebody
who is good this time.

Better hold on
to what you've got,
'cause I'll be holding on to love.

Hold on
to what you've got.
Now I know I've got somebody
who is good this time.
