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
'Cause I tried twice to call you
With no answer either time
The postman brought a package
I mailed some days ago
I just signed it love from mama
So Angie wouldn't know.

Ain't no easy thing to do
When it comes to raisin' children

Alice, please believe me

Holding things together 
With you gone.
Holding things together
With you gone.
