Our love was strong 

As love could be 

But then someone got between 

You and me 

People said we were finished 

When you walked out the door 

I was so worried 

I walked a hole in the floor 


But I'm holdin' court tonight 

Surprising all my friends 

I'm holdin' court tonight, baby 

Cause I got you back again 


All the one nighters 

That I had to do 

I didn't think about what 

That would do to you 

Some smart guy thought that while I was away 

That he could just slip right in and take my place 


But I'm holdin' court tonight 

Surprising all my friends 

I'm holdin' court tonight, baby 

Cause I got you back again 


I called you from tomorrow 

To talk about yesterday 

Nothing about I love 'ya 

There's just some bills to pay 

You said that time and loneliness 

Had made you weak 

It's hard not to listen when temptation speaks 


We talked about it 

And we set it straight 

And now I'm on the town, baby 

We're gonna celebrate 


I'm holdin' court tonight 

Surprising all my friends 

I'm holdin' court tonight, baby 

Cause I got you back again
