holdin' on to something lyrics

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 slippin' through my hands
Everytime I think I got her
I gotta think again

I'm holdin' on to somethin'
That keeps lettin' me go
Just a whole lotta heartache
At the end of my rope

I fall a little harder
Everytime I drop
But I keep reachin'
'Cause 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' kinda lonely
Says she can't wait
So don't be late
I promise her I won't 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 lotta heartache
At the end of my rope

I fall a little harder
Every time I drop
I keep reachin'
'Cause I can't stop
Holdin' on to somethin'
That keeps lettin' me go

I fall a little harder
Every time I drop
I keep reachin'
'Cause I can't stop

Holdin' on to somethin'
That keeps lettin' me go
Just a whole lotta heartache
At the end of my rope

I keep holdin' on to somethin'
That keeps lettin' me go
I'm just holdin' on to somethin'
That keeps lettin' me go
