HOLD ON TO YOUR WOMAN

Max Carl, Glenn Frey


Once I had an ocean
But I let it turn to sand
I had a hold of pure gold
But it slipped through my hands
You see I had a love, but I couldn't be true
Now I have nothing,
That's why I'm tellin' you . . .

You gotta hold on to your woman
Hold on to your woman
When you fin'lly find someone who cares
She's the answer to all of your prayers
And you know in your heart she'll be there
When you need her

Just once in a lifetime true love will call
Make sure your heart will listen
Or you might lose it all
There's always temptation
But don't you be led astray
When you find yourself slipping
Just about to lose your way, you'd better . . .

Hold on to your woman
Hold on to your woman
When you fin'lly find someone who cares
She's the answer to all of your prayers
You know it's true
That is why I'm tellin' you
You better hold . . . hold . . . hold on

To your woman . . .

Hold on to your woman
Hold on to your woman
When you fin'lly find someone who cares
She's the answer to all of your prayers
You know it's true
That is why I'm tellin' you
You'd better hold on . . .
