Holding things together

Ain't no easy thing to do

When it comes to raisin' children

It's a job - meant for two

Alice please believe me

I can't go on and on

Holding things together

With you gone.



Today was Angie's birthday

I guess it slipped your mind

I tried twice to call you

But no answer either time

But the postman brought a present

I mailed some days ago

I just signed it love from mama

So Angie wouldn't know.
