Give or take a tear or two, yeah
Lady, all we seem to do is talk about
No-one to answer to
Lately I'm doing what I can do to pleasure me
There's a twinkle in my dying eyes
Honey, I would rather do without, yeah
I'm holding my own
I'm holding my own
'Cos I'm holding my own
There's a spring in my stride
No matter what I put myself through
I'm finding time to focus on my fantasies
Give or take a tear or two, yeah
I don't need your permission
Give or take a tear or two, yeah
No matter what I put myself through
I'm satisfied in my own company
'Cos I'm holding my own
Like a splash of water on my face
I'm holding my own
We take apart and analyze our ins and outs
No matter what I put myself through
I'm holding through
I won't spend another lifetime begging you
To take this matter in my own two hands
I'm holding my own
'Cos I'm holding my own
