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   Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute   I keep holding 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   Well, you may just be right      ?Cause minute by minute by minute by minute   I keep holding on   Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute   I keep holding on      Call my name and I?ll be gone   You?ll reach out and I won?t be there   Just my luck you?ll realize   You should spend your life with someone   You could spend your life with someone      Minute by minute by minute by minute   I?ll be holding on   Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute   I?ll be holding on
