Girl, take a seat
Rest your weary bones
Your secret's safe
In my hands
Tell me about the years and
Let me buy an hour
Maybe help me to understand
Oh, 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, love
Holding on for love
You're holding on for life
Holding on for life, love
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, love
Holding on for love
You're holding on for life
Holding on for life, love
Holding on for love
Well,
you
might belong
to another time
Still you have to carry on, yeah
No
where
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, love
Holding on for love
You're holding on for life
Holding on for life, love
Holding on for love
