Lyrics

I know love I know love Every time I try to hold on, it's gone Yeah, I know love I've been so many kinds of crazy Out on the street every day Just tryin' to keep what I got Before they take it away And when I had me a woman I tried to keep her up on a shelf Soon as I looked away She ran to somebody else I know love I know love Every time I try to hold on, it's gone Yeah, I know love I remember my daddy tellin' me the ways of the world He said: "Son you're a fool if you try to own that sweet little girl Keep her there beside you Don't you use no lock and key because a prisoner of love Has only got to be free." I know love I know love Every time I try to hold on, it's gone Yeah, I know love Love is like the roses: It can last through the sun and rain But don't you try to hold it The thorns will cause you pain I know love I know love Every time I try to hold on, it's gone I know love I know love I know love Every time I try to hold on, it's gone Yeah, I know love I know love I know love
