Holdin' on barely holdin' on I know if I led off you'll be gone ------ that's holdin' you here and I'm just barely barely holdin' on I never will forget that feelin' you said love is gone you were leavin' The hand on the clock is going around and I was in the water going down Holdin' on barely holdin' on... Now every hour brings you closer to goin' and I already feel the hurt of growin' You're gonna leave that mighty lonely girl How much longer can I hold you in my world Cause I'm just holdin' on... Yeah I'm just barely barely holdin' on
