Yeah, it's gonna be real pretty, man Cheer up little darlin', don't be so sad There's a time and place for the blues that you've had Just hold what you've got, babe, and never give in Seems like a tight spot, but it's just a loose end Cheer up little darlin', don't be so sad There's a time and place for the blues you have had Hold what you've got, babe, never give in It feels like a tight spot, but it's just a loose end You can't fix the world, girl, it's so badly bent But you can help it along if you save your own skin The first thing you do, honey, is make you a list Of the things that you've done and the things that you've missed Do the best that you can, doll, there's no one to blame It's just the turn that it took in this crazy old game Hold what you've got, babe, never give in It feels like a tight spot, but it's just a loose end
