Minute By Minute

(album: Paradise - 1980)

Girl, 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 bend, blink, and you'd be gone
I must be prepared anytime to carry on
Oh, I'm telling you

Minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll be holding on
Minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll be holding on
Keep me holding on

You would stay just to watch me, darling
Wilt away on lies from you
Can't stop the habit of living on the run
I take it all for granted like you're the only one
Living on my own
Somehow that sounds nice
You think I'm your fool
Well, you may just be right
Oh, I'm telling you

Minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll be holding on, keep me holding on
Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll be holding on, on, oh-oh-oh...

Call my name and I'll be there
You'll reach out and I will be there
Just my luck you'll realize
You could spend your life with someone
You could spend your life with someone

Minute by minute by minute by minute
I'll be holding on, keep me holding on
Minute by minute by minute by minute...
