There are people who don't know me Who must think I got it made From all outward appearances I guess it looks that way I 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 ain't no home How long can I go on holding my own There's a brand new show that's playing At the movies down the street I probably go there after work Then stop somewhere to eat I 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 ain't no home How long can I go on holding my own How long can I go on holding my own
