Johnnie Taylor - Toe Hold

Lyrics

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!
