I'm just tryin' to hold on to my woman
|
To my life
|
I've got a woman that satisfies my every need
|
She's got a formula guaranteed to please
|
You know what, there was once a time
|
When I ran the streets
|
And tryin' to sleep all the girls off their feet
|
But that kind of kind (??? not sure)
|
It only destroys
|
And that's why I have no desire
|
To paint the town with the boys
|
I stay home
|
I just tryin', tryin ta hold on, hold on
|
To my..., aah
|
My woman, my life
|
|
I feel like I want to testify
|
For all the wrong I've done
|
She never once complained
|
She stuck beside me
|
All through the sunshine and rain
|
And I don't gamble with her love
|
That's something I couldn't stand to lose
|
Her confidence in me
|
I don't dare misuse
|
If I get the urge to go
|
She may not know where I'm goin'
|
But I don't fear me
|
That when I come in
|
She knows where I been
|
|
In my life she's first and she's last
|
She's my future
|
And I'm telling you all
|
She my past
|
And for what she's given me
|
I can never repay
|
I can only hope (only hope)
|
Only hope (only hope)
|
That she let me (let me)
|
Let me (let me)
|
I said let me (let me)
|
Server her for the rest of her days
|
Always and always
|
|
I'm just tryin' to hold on, hold on
|
To my...
|
To my home and my life love
|
Some call me henpecked
|
For giving my woman the proper respect
|
But I don't care
|
I don't mind if they tease me
|
As long as my woman is pleasing me
|
I'm just tryin' ta
|
Tryin ta, tryin' ta
|
Tryin' ta
|
Hold on
|
To my...
|
My woman my life
|
