Holdin' Onto 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 holdin' on to somethin' 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 somethin' 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 wont 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 somethin' 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 somethin' That keeps lettin' me go. --- Instrumental --- I fall a little harder every time I drop But I keep reachin', an' I just can't stop I'm holdin' on to somethin' That keeps lettin' me go. (Holdin' on to somethin' That keeps lettin' me go.) I'm holdin' on to somethin' That keeps lettin' me go. (Holdin' on to somethin', That keeps lettin' me go...)
