What I Go Thru (To Keep Holding on to You)

Skeeter Davis · What Does It Take (RCA Victor) [1967]

(Sandra Rhodes)



What I go thru to keep holding on to you.



I pick your dirty shirt up off the floor

And wash out all the lipstick stains once more

Pretend that I don't know about those bad things you do

What I go thru to keep holding on to you.



Pretend that I'm asleep when you come in

So I won't have to ask you where you've been

Cause I'm afraid you'd tell me what I won't admit is true

What I go thru to keep holding on to you.



Everybody wonders jow I make it

And even you must wonder why I take it

But everytime you step across that line

My crazy heart knows maybe it's the last time.



I've learned to hide my hurt behind a smile

And hoped that you'll be true for just a while

But all the time I know you'll do just what you want to do

What I go thru to keep holding on to you.



What I go thru to keep holding on to you...
