There's a little girl, wanna make her mine
What she wants, I don't know
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

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

I fall a little harder every time I drop
But I keep reachin', I can't stop
Holdin' on to something
That keeps lettin' me go

She calls me on the phone
Says she's all alone
Feelin' kind of 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 something
That keeps lettin' me go
Just a whole lot of heartache
At the end of my rope

I fall a little harder every time I drop
But I keep reachin' 'cause I can't stop
Holdin' on to something
That keeps lettin' me go

I fall a little harder every time I drop
But I keep reachin', I just can't stop

I'm holdin' on to something
That keeps lettin' me go
(Holdin' on to something)
(That keeps lettin' me go)

I'm holdin' on to something
That keeps lettin' me go
(Holdin' on to something)
(That keeps lettin' me go)
