Youâve got me on a string
I donât mean a thing to you
Iâm holding on to no one
Iâm a long time lover
And my long time love is gone
If my man beats me, robs me blind
Long as he donât leave me, I donât mind
I would beg and I would crawl
Though it does no good at all
My manâs been gone so long
And I keep holding on
And if he needed me, Iâd be there
No matter how he mistreated me
I donât care
I would get down on my knees
Though it does no good to please
My manâs been gone for so long
And I keep holding on
Broken windows, boarded doorways
Choose your prison
When Iâm with him
Iâm a fool for loving you
And well I know
How the head says â no
And the heart says
Go down on your knees, woman
And keep on holding on
