[Verse 1]
Well, there's a little girl, wanna make her mine
What she wants, I don't know
Well, 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
[Chorus]
I'm holdin' on to somethin'
That keeps lettin' me go
Just a whole lot of heartache
At the end of my rope
Hey, 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
[Verse 2]
Well, she calls me on the phone, says she's all alone
Feelin' kind of lonely
Says she can't wait, so don't you be late
I promise her I won't be
But ten minutes later, I'm standin' at her door
She's sayin', "Never mind, I ain't lonely anymore"
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm holdin' on to somethin'
That keeps lettin' me go
Just a whole lot of heartache
At the end of my rope
Hey, I fall a little harder every time I drop
But I keep on reachin', just can't stop
Holdin' on to somethin'
That keeps lettin' me go
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
And I fall a little harder every time I drop
But I keep on reachin', just can't stop
I'm holdin' on to somethin'
That keeps lettin' me go
I'm holdin' on to somethin'
That keeps lettin' me go
That keeps lettin' me go
