Hold On To What You've Got
Evelyn “Champagne” King Lyrics

I like taking chances,
I enjoy taking risks in life.

Especially when it comes to love
I particularly enjoy taking risks in relationships.

But L-O-V-E
But the four-letter word representing love.

Is not the the kind of word I speak lightly of
Is not something I do not take seriously.

It's so romantic,
It's incredibly charming,

The reflection of the moon on a Caribbean cruise
The image of the moon shining on the water during a Caribbean cruise.

But there's another reflection
But there's another image that comes to mind.

I see against the water:
A man reflected in the water,

Another man in your shoes
Another man in the position you're in right now.

I know you'll find a saying like
I know you'll find a phrase like,

Handsome whirlwind
An attractive, exciting person

He's the reason I believe
He's the reason I think

Money can't buy me love
Money can't buy happiness

And since money is your top priority,
And because money is what's most important to you,

I suggest you hold on
I recommend that you keep

To what you've got
What you currently have.

If I had it I know just who I would spend it on
If I had the money, I know who I'd spend it on.

Hold on
Hang in there,

To what you've got,
Do not lose what you have

'cause I'll be holding on to love
Because I'll be holding onto our love

You shouldn't have no problem
You shouldn't have any issues

With women, there are those out there
With finding women that are interested,

Who would love to play your game
Who are willing to play along with your ideas.

Just for the fun of it,
Just for kicks,

But I don't care
But I don't mind.

I'm your secretary on the job,
I am your work assistant.

I hope that never ends
I hope we can continue working together like this.

We may have to see each other,
We may encounter each other,

So if we can't be lovers,
So if we can't be romantic partners,

We can still be friends
We can remain friends.

Business, people, pleasure
Work, relationships, and leisure time.

Should be on your mind, boy
Should be your main focus, guy.

When it comes to loving me,
When it comes to our relationship,

You're wasting your time
You're not using your time wisely.

Better give your love
You should give your devotion,

To who's loving you,
To those who are returning your affection,

So they can be hugging you
So they can be holding you in their embrace.

Now I know I've got somebody
Now I know I have someone

Who is good this time
Who is a keeper.

I really love my work,
I am passionate about my job,

But you're getting bold
But you're starting to cross the line

And that's something
And that's a problem for me

You fail to realize
You do not understand,

But if you keep it up,
But if you continue behaving like that,

I'll have to take control
I'll have to take charge.

'Cause you can't put a
Because you cannot delay

Swift, good loving on hold
Our affection cannot be postponed.

No no no,
Absolutely not,

It just won't go
That's not going to happen

Better hold on
Better hang in there,

To what you've got,
Do not let go of what you have.

'cause I'll be holding on to love
Because I will be holding onto our love

Now I know I've got somebody
Now I know I have someone

Who is good this time
Who is a keeper.
