Holding My Own
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Baby, everything has fallen into place
My life is so exciting now I've got my space
Like a splash of water on my face
Lately I'm doing what I can do to pleasure me
I'm finding time to focus on my fantasies
I'm satisfied in my own company
I don't need your permission
To take this matter in my own two hands
'Cos I'm holding my own
Give or take a tear or two
I'm holding my own
No matter what I put myself through
Lady, all we seem to do is talk about
We take apart and analyse our ins and outs
Honey, I would rather do without
No-one to answer to
I won't spend another lifetime begging you
'Cos I'm holding my own
Give or take a tear or two
I'm holding my own
No matter what I put myself through
I'm holding my own
There's a spring in my stride
There's a twinkle in my dying eyes
'Cos I'm holding my own
Give or take a tear or two
I'm holding my own
No matter what I put myself through
