Lyrics A Bird In The Hand (Is Worth Two In The Bush) - Single Version - The Velvelettes



Girls, when you′ve got a good love who's gonna treat you right
But another guy offers you a better life
Right away you start to swoon
Because he offers you the moon
Tell me, is riches worth more than love and affection?
Don′t be steered in the wrong direction,'cause
(A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush now)
Remember girls
(A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush now)
So hold onto what you've got
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
You′re just losin′ a love that's true (hold on baby to what you got)
For a love that might last a day or two
Why gamble when you have what you
Need? girls (hold on baby to what you got)
You might just be losing everything, girls
The grass looks greener on the other side
But you just might be taken for a ride, ′cause
(A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush now)
Remember girls
(A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush now)
So hold onto what you've got
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
(Hold on baby to what you got)
(Hold on baby to what you got)
Come on and tell me now is riches worth more than love and affection?
Don′t be steered in the wrong direction 'cause
(A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush now)
Remember girls
(A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush now)
So hold onto what you′ve got
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Just as sure as the wind will blow (hold on baby to what you got)
Fellas will come and fellas will go
Makin' promises they vow to keep (hold on baby to what you got)
But chances are you'll be left to weep, girls
So if you have a guy that′s good to you
Hold on tight, it′s the thing to do 'cause
(A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush now)
Remember girls
(A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush now)
So hold onto what you′ve got
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Hold on, hold on girls (hold on baby to what you got)
'Cause a bird in the hand is worth in the bush now
Hold on, hold on girls (hold on baby to what you got)
′Cause a bird in the hand is worth in the bush now
Hold on, hold on girls (hold on baby to what you got)
'Cause a bird in the hand is worth in the bush now
