Holding My Own

(Dean Dillon - Pamela Belford)



There are people who don't know me

Who must think I've got it made

From all outward appearances

I guess it looks that way.



I've got good friends and family

They let me know they care

I got a job to keep me goin'

And a car to get me there.



I'm holdin' my own

But I'd rather be holdin' you

I can make it alone

But not like I made it with you

Without you here

This house just ain't no home

How long can I go on holdin' my own?



There's brand new show that's playin'

At the movies down the street

I'll probably go there after work

Then stop somewhere to eat.



I've got cable on my TV

And I'll leave her on all night

While I dose off to sleep

And dream that I'm alright.



I'm holdin' my own

But I'd rather be holdin' you

I can make it alone

But not like I made it with you

Without you here

This house just ain't no home

How long can I go on holdin' my own?



How long can I go on holdin' my own?...
