Girl take a seat
Rest your little bones
The secret's safe in my hands
Tell me 'bout the years
And let me buy an hour
Maybe help me to understand
Ain't nobody calling
Ain't nobody home
What a lovely day to be lonely
You're holding on for life
Holding on for life
Holding on for life
You're holding on for life
Holding on for life
Holding on for life
Lightin' up a cigarette
Burning in the cold
Waiting in the street for your man
You trying not to look
so young and miserable
You gotta give
the kicks while you can
In the lighter corner
Sitting on your own
What a lovely day to be lonely
You're holding on for life
Holding on for life
Holding on for life
You're holding on for life
Holding on for life
Holding on for life
Where you make me lone
To another time
Still you have to carry on yeah
Nowhere else to go
and you never know
What to hide and what to show no
You're holding on for life
Holding on for life
Holding on for life
You're holding on for life
Holding on for life
Holding on for life
