“Holding My Own” is the final track on 2003’s Permission To Land.
The first verse is almost entirely double entendres for masturbation, while the second verse is a more serious take on a failing relationship.
Ooh
On my own
[Verse 1]
Baby, everything is falling into place
Oh, my life is so exciting, now, I've got my space
Like a splash of water on my face, ooh
Lately, I'm doing what I can to pleasure me
Oh, I'm finding time to focus on my fantasies
I'm satisfied in my own company, ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't need your permission
To take this matter in my own two hands
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm holding my own
Give or take a tear or two, yeah
I'm holding my own
No matter what I put myself through, oo ooo ooh
[Verse 2]
Lady, all we seem to do is talk about
Ah, we take apart and analyse our ins-and-outs
Honey, I would rather do without, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
No-one to answer to
I won't spend another lifetime begging you
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm holding my own
Give or take a tear or two, yeah
I'm holding my own
No matter what I put myself through
I'm holding my own
Ooh
[Guitar solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
There's a spring in my stride
There's a twinkle in my dying eyes
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm holding my own
Give or take a tear or two, yeah
I'm holding my own
No matter what I put myself through
Ooow ooo oooo
