All my life I been a po' boy,
It's been hard to get a dime
Everythin' I got, umm, hmm

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 fatman,
I've got to look after my ambition.


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, 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.


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

I want a little little little little little little little little little toehold
Owwww!
