I heard it from a friend who heard it from another
She said she liked the way I smiled at you in Monterey
I have more highs than lows and we could add them up
But we'd be running out of fingers and toes
Oh well, on good days, that's usually the way it goes

But tonight, I'm so lonely, just put you arms around me
And tell me that you love me so much
I'm tired of seeking slowly, lately I've been crazy
Maybe I'm just getting out of touch
Now I'm holding on 'til the night is gone

I'm an average guy but people like to have their heroes
I'm seldom nervous, dry or shy, and usually it always shows

But tonight, I'm so lonely, just put you arms around me
And tell me that you love me so much
I'm tired of seeking slowly, lately I've been crazy
Maybe I'm just getting out of touch
Now I'm holding on, now I'm holding on

Until this feeling goes away, until I get the needed dose
Until you put your arms around and hold me close

Oh, tonight, I'm so lonely, just put you arms around me
And tell me that you love me so much
I'm tired of seeking slowly, lately I've been crazy
Maybe I'm just getting out of touch
Now I'm holding on, now I'm holding on

Yeah, I'm holding on, yeah, I'm holding on 'til the night is gone
Yeah, I'm holding on, now I'm holding on
Now I'm holding on, now I'm holding on
