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 yellowI'm wrapped around her finger
She's slippin' through my hands
Everytime I think I got her
I gotta think againI'm holdin' on to somethin'
That keeps lettin' me go
Just a whole lotta heartache
At the end of my ropeI fall a little harder
Everytime I drop
But I keep reachin'
'Cause I can't stop
Holdin' on to somethin'
That keeps lettin' me goShe 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 beTen 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 ropeI fall a little harder
Every time I drop
I keep reachin'
'Cause I can't stop
Holdin' on to somethin'
That keeps lettin' me goI fall a little harder
Every time I drop
I keep reachin'
'Cause I can't stopHoldin' on to somethin'
That keeps lettin' me go
Just a whole lotta heartache
At the end of my ropeI keep holdin' on to somethin'
That keeps lettin' me go
I'm just holdin' on to somethin'
That keeps lettin' me go
