I like it    I don't like it

(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...
