A Bird in the Hand (Is Worth Two in the Bush) Songtext
von The Velvelettes

Girls, when you 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 and affection?
Don't be steered in the wrong direction ′cause

(A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, now)
Remember girls
(A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, now)
So hold on to what you've got (Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah)

No chance losin' a love that′s true
For a love that might last a day or two
Why gamble when you have what you need?
You might be losing everything, girls

The grass looks greener on the other side
But you just might be taken for a ride ′cause


(A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, now)
Remember girls
(A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, now)
So hold on to what you've got (Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah)

(Hold on, baby, to what you′ve got)
(Hold on, baby, to what you've got)

Come on and tell me now
Is riches worth more than love and affection?
Don′t be steered in the wrong direction 'cause

(A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, now)
Remember girls
(A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, now)
So hold on to what you′ve got (Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah)

Just as sure as the wind's gonna blow
Fellas will come and 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 is the thing to do 'cause

(A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, now)
Remember girls
(A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, now)
So hold on to what you′ve got (Yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah)


Hold on, hold on, girls
'Cause bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, now
Hold on, hold on, girls
′Cause bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, now
