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
