Toe Hold

All my life I been a po' boy

It's been hard to get a dime

Everythin' I got, mmmhmm

I had to pay for it on time, but that's all right

Long as I got a toehold

As long as I got a piece of you

As long as I got a toehold

I can make it through

Now listen

I said I went to my doctor

First thing he talked about is malnutrition

I'm not tryin' to be a fat man

I've got to look after my ambition

Long as I got a toehold

Long as I got a piece of you, girl

Long as I got a toehold

I can make it through

Oh, now give it to me baby

A little little little little little little little little little toehold

A little little little little little little little little little toehold

Oh!

So, baby!, if you're with me

I'll let the whole world be against me

I don't expect to ever get rich

You may find me diggin' in a ditch

But that's alright

Long as I got a toehold

Long as I got a piece of you

Long as I got a toehold

I can make it through

Oh, give it to me baby

A little little little little little little little little little toehold

A little little little little little little little little little toehold

Owwww!

That's all I want baby, to tell me that you love me sometimes

That make me know I got a toehold

When you tell me, said "John, I need ya"

That makes me know I got a toehold

Every time you look deep in my eyes, darling

Makes me know you need me

I want a little little little little little little little little little toehold

Give it to me baby!
