Holding on for Life

Girl, take a seat, rest your weary bones

Your secret's safe in my hands

Tell me 'bout the years and let me buy an hour

Maybe help me to understand

Ooh, ain't nobody callin', ain't nobody home

What a lovely day to be lonely

You're holding on for life, holding on for life

You're holding on for love

You're holding on for life, holding on for life

You're holding on for love

Light another cigarette, burning in the cold

Waiting on the street for your man

You're trying not to look so young and miserable

You gotta get your kicks while you can

And in the Latin Quarter, sitting on your own

What a lovely day to be lonely

You're holding on for life, holding on for life

You're holding on for love

You're holding on for life, holding on for life

You're holding on for love

Well, you might belong 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

You're holding on for love

You're holding on for life, holding on for life

You're holding on for love
