Minute By Minute
Hey, don't worry, I've been lied to
I've been here many times before
Girl, don't you worry, I know where I stand
I don't need this love, I don't need your hand
I know I could turn, blink, and you'd be gone
Then I must be prepared any time to carry on
But minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on (I'll be holdin' on, I'll be holdin' on)
Minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on, baby (I'll be holdin' on)
You will stay just to watch me, darlin'
Wilt away on lies from you
Can't stop the habit of livin' on the run
I take it all for granted like you're the only one
Livin' on my own, somehow that sounds nice
You think I'm your fool, you may just be right
'Cause minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on (I'll be holdin' on, I'll be holdin')
Minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on, baby (I'll be holdin' on)
Call my name and I'll be gone
You'll reach out and I won't be there
Just by luck, you'll realize
You could spend your life with someone
You could spend your life with someone
Minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll keep holding on, baby, baby sing, oh yeah
Minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll be holding on, baby sing forever
Minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll keep holding on, I'll keep holding on
Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute (yeah)
I'll be holding on (I'll be holding on)
Minute by minute by minute by minute (ooh)
I'll keep holding on, I'll keep holding on
Minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll keep holding on (I'll keep holding on, yeah yeah)
Every minute by minute, every hour by hour
My love grows for you, such a love power
I can't help myself, I need you baby
Come home with me, your one and only true love
I need ya, I need ya
Come on back to me, yeah!
Minute by minute by minute by minute (ooh)
I'll keep holding on, I'll keep holding on, baby!
Minute by minute by minute by minute
The kids are not the same, the house just ain't the same without you baby
Minute by minute by minute by minute (oh yeah)
My friends keep asking me where you gone
Minute by minute...
I've been here many times before
Girl, don't you worry, I know where I stand
I don't need this love, I don't need your hand
I know I could turn, blink, and you'd be gone
Then I must be prepared any time to carry on
But minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on (I'll be holdin' on, I'll be holdin' on)
Minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on, baby (I'll be holdin' on)
You will stay just to watch me, darlin'
Wilt away on lies from you
Can't stop the habit of livin' on the run
I take it all for granted like you're the only one
Livin' on my own, somehow that sounds nice
You think I'm your fool, you may just be right
'Cause minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on (I'll be holdin' on, I'll be holdin')
Minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on, baby (I'll be holdin' on)
Call my name and I'll be gone
You'll reach out and I won't be there
Just by luck, you'll realize
You could spend your life with someone
You could spend your life with someone
Minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll keep holding on, baby, baby sing, oh yeah
Minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll be holding on, baby sing forever
Minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll keep holding on, I'll keep holding on
Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute (yeah)
I'll be holding on (I'll be holding on)
Minute by minute by minute by minute (ooh)
I'll keep holding on, I'll keep holding on
Minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll keep holding on (I'll keep holding on, yeah yeah)
Every minute by minute, every hour by hour
My love grows for you, such a love power

Minute by minute by minute by minute (ooh)
I'll keep holding on, I'll keep holding on, baby!
Minute by minute by minute by minute
The kids are not the same, the house just ain't the same without you baby
Minute by minute by minute by minute (oh yeah)
My friends keep asking me where you gone
Minute by minute...
