six songs - part 4b: the nearly perfect love song

Stars - Hold On When You Get Love and Let Go When You Give It

There's been a lot of talk of love

But that don't amount to nothing

You can evoke the stars above

But that doesn't make it something

And the only way to last

And the only way to live it 

Is to hold on when you get love, 

And let go when you give it... give it.

It's a pretty melody

It might help you through the nighttime

But it doesn't make it easy 

To leave the party at the right time

If I'm frightened, if I'm high

It's my weakness. please forgive it

At least I hold on when I get love, 

And I let go when I give it... give it... give it

What do I do when I get lonely?

What do I do?

Hold on when you get love, 

What do I do when I get lonely?

What do I do?

Hold on when you get love, 

What do I do when I get lonely?

What do I do?

Let go when you give it.

What do I do?

The world won't listen to this song

And the radio won't play it

But if you like it sing along

Sing 'cause you don't know how to say it

Take the weakest thing in you 

And then beat the bastards with it

And always hold on when you get love, 

So you can let go when you give it.

Take the weakest thing in you 

And then beat the bastards with it

And always hold on when you get love, 

So you can let go when you give it... give it... give it

What do I do when I get lonely?

What do I do?

Hold on when you get love

What do I do when I get lonely?

What do I do?

Let go when you give it.

What do I do when I get lonely?

What do I do?

Hold on when you get love

What do I do?

I know it's true, at least I think I do

Nothing that you say or do will make you love me

Forget the song, life will go on

I keep sayin' it from the dark, with you above me

I know it's true, at least I think I do

Nothing that you say or do will make you love me

Forget the song, life will go on

I keep sayin' it from the dark, with you above me

Take the weakest thing in you 

And then beat the bastards with it

And always hold on when you get love, 

So you can let go when you give it. 

Give it... give it... give it... give it... give it... give it.
