Girls, when you've got a good guy 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 bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
Bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
So hold on now, what you've got?
Don't you lose in the light, it's true
For a love that might last a day or two
Why gamble when you have a sure thing?
You might end up losing everything, girls
The grass looks greener on the other side
And you just might be taken for a ride
Cause bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
Remember girls, bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
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 bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
Remember girls, bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
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
Making promises they vow to keep
But chances are you'll be left to weep, girls
So if you have a guide that's good to you
Hold on tight, it's the thing to do
Cause bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
Remember girls, bird in the hand is worth two in the bush
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
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
