There's a little girl Want to make her mine What she wants I don't know If red means stop An' 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 letting me go Just a whole lotta heartache At the end of my rope I fall a little harder every time I drop But I keep reaching 'cause I can't stop Holdin' on to something that keeps letting me go She calls me on the phone Says she's all alone Felling kinda lonely Says she can't wait So don't be late I promise her I won't be Ten minutes later I'm standing at her door She's saying, "Never mind, I ain't lonely anymore"...I'm Holdin' on to something That keeps letting 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 reaching 'cause I can't stop Holdin' on to something that keeps letting me go I fall a little harder every time I drop But I keep reaching 'cause I can't stop Holdin' on to something that keeps letting me go Just a whole lot of heartache At the end of my rope Holdin' on to something That keeps letting me go
