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
