Never stick around
You don''t even care who''s watchin you
And you won''t look back there

Time is tickin and life is livin right by your head
You''d better watch it and do what I said

You got to hold on to what you got
Things might fall apart
But it don''t mean nothing less you stick to your ways
You got to hold on to what you got
Before you get burned

Couldn''t find yourself
Blame somebody else
You never look at me straight in the eye
And you won''t even ask why

You got to hold on to what you got
Things might fall apart
But it don''t mean nothing less you stick to your ways
You got to hold on to what you got
Before you get burned

Must have been something
You don''t even seem to mind at all
Nothing could have ever been so bad

Still don''t know your name
Man, you''re such a shame
Do yourself a favor,
Don''t say much and just keep your mouth shut

You got to hold on to what you got
Things might fall apart
But it don''t mean nothing less you stick to your way
You got to hold on to what you got
Before you get burned

You got to hold on
You got to hold on to what you got
Before you get burned
