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

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 aint no home

How long can I go on holding my own



There's 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 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 aint no home

How long can I go on holding my own



How long can I go on holding my own
