Lyrics Hold On Tight - Archie Roach

One, two, three, go

Don't take love for granted
It's not there all the time
The party's all over
And you're drunk all the way
And she doesn't feel the different
She feels just the same
As she did all the day
She accepted your name

Better hold on tight (hold on tight)
She loves you and you love her, you know
Then love her right
Or the day will come when she will go

Pure love and affection
Feel like an offense
Or a stranger outside
You don't want to let in
But can you say, "I love you"
Without any pretense?
I feel like a neighbor
Talking over the fence

Better hold on tight (hold on tight)
She loves you, and you love her, and you know
Then love her right
Or the day will come when she will go

Like the sun sinking into the ocean
She's gone and she moves in slow motion
Leaving a crimps on you
Like the rain that falls on the edge of the desert
And my feathers bloom for a moment
Leaving the sweetest perfume

True love and affection
Feels like an offense
Or a stranger outside
You don't want to let in
But can you say, "I love you"
Without any pretense?
I feel like a neighbor
Talking over the fence

Better hold on tight (hold on tight)
She loves you and you love her, you know
Better love her right
Or the day will come when she will go
