If you want to do something now, do it right
And if you want to say something now, say it right
An if you want to hold on to something now, hold on tight
And when you hold on tight now, hold on tight
For that's the time you won't lose it, lose it, lose it
That's the time you won't lose it, lose it alright
I hold the blade, you hold the handle
You have it all wrong
Surely time and hope goes on now
Let him have his fun
You get a chance and don't hold on now
You'll be coming down
You get a chance and don't hold on now
You'll be coming down
For that's the time you won't lose it, lose it, lose it
That's the time you won't lose it, lose it alright
If you want to do something now, do it right
And if you want to say something now, say it right
An if you want to hold on to something now, hold on tight
And when you hold on tight now, hold on tight
For that's the time you won't lose it, lose it, lose it
That's the time you won't lose it, lose it, lose it
That's the time you won't lose it, lose it, lose it
That's the time you won't lose it, lose it alright
