Hey, don't you 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 keep holding on
Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on

You will stay just to watch me, darlin'
Will 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
Somehow that sounds nice
You think I'm you fool
Well, you may just be right

But minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on
Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep 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 could spend your life with someone

But minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on
Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on
