Lyrics:

(Michael McDonaldLester Abrams) 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 any time to carry on But minute by minute by minute by minute I keep holding on Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute I keep holding on You will stay just to watch me, darlin' Wilt away on lies from you Can't stop the habit of livin' on the run I 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 Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute I keep holding on 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 Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute I'll be holding on...
