Holdin' On to Something

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 holding 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 cos I can't stop
Holding on to something
That keeps letting me go

She calls me on the phone, says she's all alone
Feeling 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"

And I'm holding 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 cos I can't stop
Holding on to something
That keeps letting me go

I fall a little harder every time I drop
I keep reaching cos I can't stop
Holding on to something
That keeps letting me go

Just a whole lotta heartache
At the end of my rope
I keep holding on to something
That keeps letting me go
I'm just holding on to something
That keeps letting me go
