Holding things together ain't no easy thing to do
When it comes to raising 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
I tried twice to call you with no answer either time
But the postman brought a present I mailed some days ago
I just signed it love from mama so Angie wouldn't know

Holding things together ain't no easy thing to do
When it comes to raising 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

I'm holding things together please come home
