Hold What You've Got Lyrics - Singles - 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 one, two, three 

Yes they will, yes they will 

Listen fellows, you know it's not all the time 

That a man can have a good woman 

A women he 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?? 

But 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 one, two, three 

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 through thick and thin 

Men who'd go to work everyday and 

Bring home their hard earned pay 

Men who'd give their woman anything 

That their little hearts desired 

Where some women make mistakes is 

When their men go out and let 'em 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 one, two, three 

Yes she will, yes she will
