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
