Hold What You Got - Joe Tex

You had a better hold on

Hold on to what you got

You had a better hold on

Hold on to what you got

'Cause if you think nobody wants it

Just throw it away and you will see

Someone will have it before you can count

1,2,3, yes they will, yes they will

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, but listen

If you think no other man wants her

Just throw her away and you will see

Some man will have her before you can count

1, 2, 3, yes, they will, yes, he will

Ha ha, 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 'em through thick and thin

Men who would go to work everyday

And bring home their hard earned pay

Men who would give their women

Anything that their little heart 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 that 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

1,2,3, yes, you will, yes you will
