There are people who don't know me
Who must think I got it made
From all outward appearances
I guess it looks that way
I got good friends and family
They let me know they care
I got a job to keep me going
And a car to get me there

I'm holding my own
But I'd rather be holding 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 holding my own

There's a brand new show that's playing
At the movies down the street
I probably go there after work
Then stop somewhere to eat
I 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 holding my own
But I'd rather be holding 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 holding my own

How long can I go on holding my own
