  • Girl take a seat, rest your weary bones
    Your secrets safe in my hands
    Tell me about 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 (oh)
    Holding on for love
    You're holding on for life
    Holding on for life (oh)
    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
    In the lighted corner, sitting on your own
    What a lovely day to be lonely

    You're holding on for life
    Holding on for life (oh)
    Holding on for love
    You're holding on for life
    Holding on for life (oh)
    Holding on for love

    Well you might belong to another time
    Still you have to carry on here
    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 (oh)
    Holding on for love
    You're holding on for life
    Holding on for life (oh)
    Holding on for love Writer/s: Brian Joseph Burton, James Russell Mercer
