There's a little girl

Wanna 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 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



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 lotta heartache

At the end of my rope

Holdin' on to something

That keeps letting me go
