What makes him stand and fight When he only wants to love And why do they push so hard When he only needs a shove Every time I see him go Everybody says to wait Can't get loose You can fight like hell But you can't get loose You can dream But you can't get loose It's holdin' on, holdin' on Can't get loose Oh, no, no What makes on man rich How's another man get so poor What make someone care so much For things another man can just ignore Some questions go unanswered And they have for quite some time Something's forever sacred We're just prisoners of our own minds Chorus: Can't get loose We can fight like hell But we can't get loose We can dream But we can't get loose Keep's holdin' on, holdin' on Can't get loose Shake it, share it, share it loose Oh yea There she sits With stars in her eyes But too afraid to dance 'Cause every guy that she holds so close Just wants to get in her pants Oh yea Can't get loose Can't get loose Can't get loose Can't get loose Tell me what keeps her by his side When she's treated just like dirt The fear of the dark unknown Appears to be much worse than the hurt So she stays up nights and dreams Of a knight in shining armour Who will rescue her one day While time keeps going against her [Chorus]
