Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Gettin' tired of livin', livin' for a moment
Gettin' tired of hanging on the line
I wake up every morning and I pull back the curtain
And wonder if it's gonna rain or shine
[Verse 2]
Gettin' tired of thinkin, gettin' so tired of begging
Gettin' tired of forgetting that there's two of us
I'm getting so tired of loving a man
That just don't give a damn
[Verse 3]
Just tell me, tell me baby, why I'm holding on
When your loving's long gone?
I got a good mind so why don't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye?
[Verse 4]
Just tell me, baby
Why I been holding on for so long?
And nothing but a miracle is gonna bring you back
Bring you back to me now
[Verse 5]
Whoa, whoa, oh, ooh, no, no
[Verse 6]
I gotta get myself together
Gotta stop telling myself that I can do no better
Gotta go out and maybe start meeting some new people
I gotta go out and buy myself one of those little black dresses
[Verse 7]
'Cause I'm so tired of this T-shirt
I'm so tired of cryin' off all my make up
Getting just so tired of waking up with a lonely heart
I'm getting so tired of giving a damn about an absent hearted man
[Verse 8]
Just tell me, tell me baby, why I'm holding on
When your loving's long gone?
I got a good mind so why don't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye?
[Verse 9]
Just tell me, baby
Why I been holding on for so long?
And nothing but a miracle is gonna bring you back
Bring you back to me now
[Verse 10]
Oh, I can see it
(Coming down the shadows) Coming down the shadows
I can see it, it's coming through
It's coming through the windows
[Verse 11]
Oh, I can see it (It's coming down the ceiling)
I can see it coming down the ceiling
Oh, I can't escape it, can't escape it (Can't escape it, baby)
Oh, I can't escape it (Can't escape it, baby)
[Verse 12]
Tell me, yeah, why I'm holding on
When your love is long gone?
I got a good mind so why don't you tell me why
I can't say goodbye?
[Verse 13]
Just tell me, baby
Why I been holding on for so long?
And nothing but a miracle is gonna bring it back
Bring you back to me now
[Verse 14]
Oh, nothing but a miracle is gonna bring you back to me now
Oh, nothing but a miracle, oh, no, no, no
Oh, nothing but a miracle is gonna bring you back to me now
Oh, no
