And yes I'm holdin' you, holdin' you, holdin' you Left you in all black But dear old Nicki Please call back You told me you'd come when I needed you But I'm standing here calling I cant see you But I am holding you, holding you, holding you to that Oh

She won't stop me put it down And don't look back Oh baby don't stop Bury me and fade to black So get your gun and meet me by the door Would I lie to you? Gun it while I'm holding on Don't stop if I fall Wait until it fades to black
