Trying To Hold On To My Woman - Lamont Dozier

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 sweep all the girls

Off their feet

But that kind of kind

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)

Serve 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
