There's a little girl, wanna make her mine What she wants, I don't know If red means stop and green means go Her light is always yellow I'm wrapped around her finger She's slipping through my hands Every time I think I got her, I gotta think again I'm holdin' on to something That keeps lettin' me go Just a whole lot of heartache At the end of my rope I fall a little harder every time I drop But I keep reachin', I can't stop Holdin' on to something That keeps lettin' me go She calls me on the phone Says she's all alone Feelin' kind of lonely Says she can't wait so don't be late I promise her I won't be Ten minutes later I'm standin' at her door She's sayin', "Never mind, I ain't lonely anymore" I'm holdin' on to something That keeps lettin' me go Just a whole lot of heartache At the end of my rope I fall a little harder every time I drop But I keep reachin' 'cause I can't stop Holdin' on to something That keeps lettin' me go I fall a little harder every time I drop But I keep reachin', I just can't stop I'm holdin' on to something That keeps lettin' me go (Holdin' on to something) (That keeps lettin' me go) I'm holdin' on to something That keeps lettin' me go (Holdin' on to something) (That keeps lettin' me go)
