The Velvelettes - Bird In The Hand (Is Worth Two In The Bush) lyrics

Girls, when you've got a good love 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 Tell me, is riches worth more than love & affection? Don't be steered in the wrong direction 'cause (A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush) remember girls (A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush) So hold onto what you've got You're just losin' a love that's true For a love that might last a day or 2 Why gamble when you have what you need? You might be losing everything, girls The gra** looks greener on the other side But you just might be taken for a ride 'cause (A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush) remember girls (A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush) So hold onto what you've got (instrumental) Come on & tell me, is riches worth more than love & affection? Don't be steered in the wrong direction 'cause (A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush) remember girls (A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush) So hold onto what you've got Just as sure as the wind will blow Fellas will come & fellas will go Makin' promises they vow to keep But chances are you'll be left to weep, girls So if you have a guy that's good to you Hold on tight, it's the thing to do, 'cause (A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush) remember girls (A bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush) So hold onto what you've got (repeat & fade): Hold on, hold on girls 'Cause a bird in the hand is worth in the bush now
