Lamont Dozier - Trying to Hold on to My Woman

I'm just tryna 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, oh
It only destroys
And that's why I have no desire
To paint the town with the boys
I stay home
I just tryna (try to hold on), tryna hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
(To my) To my, ah
(To my life) 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
And 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 y'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, whoo-oh-oh

I'm just tryna hold on (try to hold on), hold on
To my (to my)
My home and my life, love (to my life)
Some call me henpecked (try to hold on)
For giving my woman the proper respect
But I don't care (to my life)
I don't mind if they tease me (to my life)
As long as my woman is pleasing me
I'm just tryna
Tryna, tryna
Tryna (try to hold on)
Hold on
To my (to my)
My woman, my life (to my life)
That's (?) Y'all
