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! {fade}
All you fellows, gather 'round me And let me give you some good advice What I'm gonna, gonna ask you now You better think about it twice While you're out cheating on your woman There's something you never even thought of, and that is
Who's making love to your old lady While you were out making love [(hear me now] Who's making love to your old lady While you were out making love
I've seen so, so many fellows Fall in that same old bag Thinking that a woman is made to, To be beat on and treated so bad Oh, fellows, let me ask you something I'm sure that you never even dreamed of, [repeat chorus]
I know there are some women gives the other excuse I'm not tryin' to run your life, boy it's up to you Oh, you oh, you,
Reason why I ask this question I used to be the same old way When I decided to straighten up I found it was a bit too late Oh, that's when it all happened Something I never, never dreamed of

Every guy I know Trying to get ahead Working two jobs Til you're almost dead (You tell em)
Work your fingers Right down to the bone There's a cat named Jody Sneaking around in your home
There's a cat named Jody In every town Spending lots of cash And just riding around
Ride on, Jody Ride on, ride on With your bad self Jody
The ashes in your ashtray Footprints on your carpet While you work all day He even got the nerve To sleep in your bed Sit down at the table Eat your bread
When you get home After working hard all day Jody's got your girl And he don't play
I said Ain't no sense in going home Jody's got your girl and gone
(It ain't no sense in going home) (You gotta get home but You work too hard) (It ain't no sense in going home) (You gotta get home but You work too hard)
Ain't no sense in going home Jody's got your girl and gone) I tell you, Jody's got Your girl and gone (Ain't no sense in going home)
When you discover Your gross neglect Itll be too late to Give your woman respect
You'll hunt down Jody ? Ten thousand dollar reward For Jody's hide
Ain't no sense in going home Jody's got your girl and gone
