"Holdin' On to YOu" Lyrics

(Dolly Parton)

There are those who'd love to love me, take me home and take care of me
Treat me just the way you never do
But I'm here on your door step something I can't seem to help
Like a fool, I'm holdin' on to you.

Chorus:
Oh, you don't love me, you don't love me, you place everything above me
Like a fool, I'm holdin' on to you
You don't want me, you don't want me, you just hurt and disappoint me
Like a fool I'm holding on to you, you, like a fool I'm holding on to you.

--- Instrumental ---

What is this spell that's on me, make me think you own me
Why do I keep holding on to you
I just can't shake the feeling I only know it's real
And now I'm holding, holding, holdin on to you.

Chorus:
Oh, you don't love me, you don't love me, you place everything above me
Like a fool, I'm holdin' on to you
You don't want me, you don't want me, you just hurt and disappoint me
Like a fool I'm holding on to you, you, like a fool I'm holding on to you.

--- Instrumental ---

(Holdin', holdin', holdin' on.)

Holdin', holdin' on to you, holdin', holdin' on to you
I just keep holdin', holdin' on to you, holdin', holdin' on to you
Holdin', holdin' on to you
I just keep holdin', I just keep holdin', I just keep holdin', holdin' on to you
Why do I keep holdin', holdin' on to you, holdin', holdin' on to you?...
