"Holding My Own" lyrics - THE DARKNESS

THE DARKNESS
"Holding My Own"
(Dan Hawkins / Justin Hawkins / Frankie Poullain)

Ooh
On my own

Baby, everything is falling into place
Oh, my life is so exciting, now, I've got my space
Like a splash of water on my face, ooh
Lately, I'm doing what I can to pleasure me
Oh, I'm finding time to focus on my fantasies
I'm satisfied in my own company, ooh

[Pre-Chorus:]
I don't need your permission
To take this matter in my own two hands

[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm holding my own
Give or take a tear or two, yeah
I'm holding my own
No matter what I put myself through

Lady, all we seem to do is talk about
Ah, we take apart and analyse our ins-and-outs
Honey, I would rather do without, yeah

[Pre-Chorus:]
No-one to answer to
I won't spend another lifetime begging you

[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm holding my own
Give or take a tear or two, yeah
I'm holding my own
No matter what I put myself through
I'm holding my own
Ooh

[Solo]

[Pre-Chorus:]
There's a spring in my stride
There's a twinkle in my dying eyes

[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm holding my own
Give or take a tear or two
I'm holding my own
No matter what I put myself through
