Lyrics
Hey, don't worry, I've been lied to
I've been here many times before
Girl, don't you worry, I know where I stand
I don't need this love, I don't need your hand
I know I could turn, blink, and you'd be gone
Then I must be prepared any time to carry on
But minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll be holding on (I'll be holding on)
Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll be holding on
You will stay just to watch me, darlin'
Wilt away on lies from you
Can't stop the habit of livin' on the run
I take it all for granted like you're the only one
Livin' on my own
Sometimes that sounds nice
You think I'm your fool
Well, you may just be right
'Cause minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll be holding on (I'll be holding on)
Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll be holding on
I'll be holding on
Call my name and I'll be gone
You'll reach out and I won't be there
Just my luck you'll realize
You should spend your life with someone
You should spend your life with someone
Minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll be holding on
Yeah, minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll be holding on
(Yeah baby) Minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll be holding on
Minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll be holding on
Yeah, baby
