Holdin' Court |
Our love was strong |
As love could be |
But then someone got between |
You and me |
People said we were finished |
When you walked out the door |
I was so worried |
I walked a hole in the floor |
But I’m holdin' court tonight |
Surprising all my friends |
I’m holdin' court tonight, baby |
Cause I got you back again |
All the one nighters |
That I had to do |
I didn’t think about what |
That would do to you |
Some smart guy thought that while I was away |
That he could just slip right in and take my place |
But I’m holdin' court tonight |
Surprising all my friends |
I’m holdin' court tonight, baby |
Cause I got you back again |
I called you from tomorrow |
To talk about yesterday |
Nothing about I love 'ya |
There’s just some bills to pay |
You said that time and loneliness |
Had made you weak |
It’s hard not to listen when temptation speaks |
We talked about it |
And we set it straight |
And now I’m on the town, baby |
We’re gonna celebrate |
I’m holdin' court tonight |
Surprising all my friends |
I’m holdin' court tonight, baby |
Cause I got you back again |
I’m holdin' court tonight, yeah… |
