Trying To Hold On To My Woman - LAMONT DOZIER

I'm just trying to hold on to my woman, to my life
I'm just trying to hold on to my, my, my woman, 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 trying to sweep all the girls off their feet
But that kind of kind, oh, it only destroys
And that's why I have no desire to paint the town with the boys
I stay home
I'm trying to hold on (I'm trying to hold on, hold on)
To my, my woman, my life (to my life)
I'm just trying (trying to hold on), trying to hold on, hold on
Hold on to my woman, eh-heh, my life (to 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 along, 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 going
But I don't stay out late, and when I come in, she knows where I've been
In my life, she's first, and she's last
She's my future, and I'm telling you all, she's 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)
