If you're fussing with your baby
And you know just how she feels
You wanna tell her
You'll make her feel better
But you ain't no doctor and you can't heal
Holding hands is a very good idea
They had it right from the start
Holding hands is a very good idea
Keeps those who are falling from falling apart
Little girl said to little boy
Walk yourself on over here
Sit down beside me
'Cause I won't bite ya
I'll let you hold my hand, yes I will
Holding hands is a very good idea
They had it right from the start
Holding hands is a very good idea
Keeps those who are falling from falling apart
So now you've got yourself a little boy
You wanna teach him all you know
But he keeps fighting that old thunder and lightning
Ain't no way you're gonna slow that boy down
Holding hands is a very good idea
They had it right from the start
Holding hands is a very good idea
Keeps those who are falling from falling apart
A long time ago, before the good old days
Old woman said to old man
If you want my loving
You'll have to change something
Stop pulling my hair and start holding my hand
Holding hands is a very good idea
They had it right from the start
Holding hands is a very good idea
Keeps those who are falling from falling apart
Well I like a four finger lock
With one on the side
You can hold'em gentle
Or you can squeeze'em tight
You can hold'em high darlin'
You can hold'em low honey
But if you're holding on
Make sure you never never let go
'Cause holding hands is a very good idea
They had it right from the start
