Lyrics

[Verse 1] Girls, when you got a good guy who's gonna treat you right But another guy offers you a better life Right away you start to swoon Because he offers you the moon [Pre-Chorus] Tell me, is riches worth more than love and affection? Don't be steered in the wrong direction, 'cause [Chorus] A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush now (Remember, girls) A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush now (So hold on to what you've got) Yeah yeah yeah [Verse 2] Don't just lose in a love that's true (Hold on, baby, to what you've got) For a love that might last a day or two Why gamble when you have a sure thing? (Hold on, baby, to what you've got) You might end up losing everything, girls [Pre-Chorus] The grass looks greener on the other side And you just might be taken for a ride, 'cause [Chorus] A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush now (Remember, girls) A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush now (So hold on to what you've got) Yeah yeah yeah yeah [Bridge] Hold on, baby, to what you've got Hold on, baby, to what you've got [Pre-Chorus] Come on and tell me now Is riches worth more than love and affection? Don't be steered in the wrong direction, 'cause [Chorus] A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush now (Remember, girls) A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush now (So hold on to what you've got) Yeah yeah yeah [Verse 3] Just as sure as the wind's gonna blow (Hold on, baby, to what you've got) Fellas will come and fellas will go Making promises they vow to keep (Hold on, baby, to what you've got) But chances are you'll be left to weep, girls [Pre-Chorus] So if you have a guy that's good to you Hold on tight, it's the thing to do, 'cause [Chorus] A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush now (Remember, girls) A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush now (So hold on to what you've got) Yeah yeah yeah [Outro] (Hold on, baby, to what you've got) Hold on, hold on, girls 'Cause a bird in the hand is worth in the bush now (Hold on, baby, to what you've got) Hold on, hold on, girls 'Cause a bird in the hand is worth in the bush now (Hold on, baby, to what you've got) Hold on, hold on, girls 'Cause a bird in the hand is worth in the bush now
