Girl, take a seat
Rest your weary bones
Your secret's safe in my hands
Tell me 'bout the years
And let me buy an hour
Maybe help me to understand
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
Holding on for life
You're holding on for life
Holding on for life
Holding on for life
Light another cigarette,
Burning in the cold
Waiting on the street for your man
You're trying not to look so young & 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
Holding on for life
You're holding on for life
Holding on for life
Holding on for life
Well, you may belong
To another time
Still you have to carry on, yeah
Nowhere else to go & you never know
What to hide and what to show, noo!
