Girl, take a seat
Rest your weary bones
Your secret's safe
In my handsTell me about the years and
Let me buy an hour
Maybe help me to understandOh, ain't nobody calling
Ain't nobody home
What a lovely day to be lonelyYou're holding on for life
Holding on for life, love
Holding on for loveYou're holding on for life
Holding on for life, love
Holding on for loveLight another cigarette
Burning in the cold
Waiting on the street
For your manYou're trying not to look so
Young and miserable
You gotta get your kicks
While you canAnd in the Latin quarter
Sitting on your own
What a lovely day to be lonelyYou're holding on for life
Holding on for life, love
Holding on for loveYou're holding on for life
Holding on for life, love
Holding on for loveWell,
you
might belong
to another time
Still you have to carry on, yeahNo
where
else to go
and you never know
what to hide and what to show, noYou're holding on for life
Holding on for life, love
Holding on for loveYou're holding on for life
Holding on for life, love
Holding on for love
