Don't Lose Your Grip On Love

Don't lose your grip on love Don't lose your grip on love Take me higher and higher like a jet plane flies But don't lose your grip on love Why do you despise this travelling man Even though he's doing the best that he can Working for peanuts as is his wont How come you don't hear him when he says Honey don't lose your grip on love Don't lose your grip on love Take me higher and higher like a jet plane flies But don't lose your grip on love Said he was a fire sign when he first came by But fire sign or water sign you still can hear him cry He put up a statue then burnt down the town And the first words his tongue spoke when he came around were Don't lose your grip on love Don't lose your grip on love Take me higher and higher like a jet plane flies But don't lose your grip on love And when he was in trouble and feeling so low His friends had deserted him, he had no place to go He seemed like a dead man but be that as it may Well I thought he was joking when I heard him say Don't lose your grip on love Don't lose your grip on love Take me higher and higher like a jet plane flies But don't lose your grip on love
