[Verse 1]
There are people who don't know me who must think I've got it made
From all outward appearances, I guess it looks that way
I've got good friends and family and they let me know they care
I got a job to keep me going and a car to get me there

[Chorus]
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?

[Verse 2]
There's a brand new show that's playing at the movies down the street
I'll probably go there after work, then stop somewhere to eat
I've got cable on my TV and I'll leave 'er on all night
While I doze off to sleep and dream that I'm alright

[Chorus]
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?

[Outro]
How long can I go on holding my own?
