Lamont Dozier - Trying To Hold On To My Woman lyrics

I'm just tryin' to hold on to my woman To my life I've got a woman that satisfies my every need She's got a formula guaranteed to please You know what, there was once a time When I ran the streets And tryin' to sweep all the girls Off their feet But that kind of kind It only destroys And that's why I have no desire To paint the town with the boys I stay home I just tryin', tryin ta hold on, hold on To my..., aah My woman, my life I feel like I want to testify For all the wrong I've done She never once complained She stuck beside me All through the sunshine and rain And I don't gamble with her love That's something I couldn't stand to lose Her confidence in me I don't dare misuse If I get the urge to go She may not know where I'm goin' But I don't fear me That when I come in She knows where I been In my life she's first and she's last She's my future And I'm telling you all She my past And for what she's given me I can never repay I can only hope (only hope) Only hope (only hope) That she let me (let me) Let me (let me) I said let me (let me) Serve her for the rest of her days Always and always I'm just tryin' to hold on, hold on To my... To my home and my life love Some call me henpecked For giving my woman the proper respect But I don't care I don't mind if they tease me As long as my woman is pleasing me I'm just tryin' ta Tryin ta, tryin' ta Tryin' ta Hold on To my... My woman my life
