Hold On To What You've Got Lyrics - Gilbert Osullivan

I've been over and I've been under 

Been through all kinds of hell 

Trouble was not only my middle name 

It was my first as well 

Through the years all I've encountered 

I've lust one thing to say 

Hold on to what you got 

And don't let it slip away 

I've been taken for far more rides 

To places I've never been, 

Stabbed so many times in the back 

I so longer feel a thing 

Ask me what all this has taught me 

And I'll tell you what I'll say 

Hold on ... 

Save it for a rainy day 

And keep a watchful eye on anyone that tells you lies 

See that it's true 

You get what your entitled to 

I was brought up same as you were 

No different and no worse 

You could be sure my mother would hit me 

If I tampered with her purse 

All my life has been a lesson 

The most Important to date 

Hold on to what you got 

And don't let It slip away.
