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 anytime to carry on

But minute by minute, by minute, by minute

I keep holding on

(I'll be holding on) oh, now

(I'll be holding on) minute by minute, by minute, by minute

I keep holding on

Oh, baby

You would stay just to watch me darlin'

Wilt away on lies from you

Can't stop the habit of livin' on the run

Take it all for granted like you're the only one

Livin' on my own

Somehow that sounds nice

You think I'm your fool

Well, you may just be right

'Cause minute by minute by minute by minute

I keep holding on

(I'll be holding on) oh, yes I will

(I'll be holding on) minute by minute, by minute, by minute

I'll keep holding on

I'll keep holding on

Oh

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

Minute by minute, by minute, by minute

I'll be holding on

Yeah-yeah, now

Every day

Minute by minute, by minute, by minute

I'll be holding on

Minute by minute, by minute, by minute

I'll be holding on

Don't you remember me?

Yeah-yeah

Minute by minute, by minute, by minute
