[Verse 1]
All my life I been a po' boy
It's been hard to get a dime
Everythin' I got, mmmhmm
I had to pay for it on time, but that's all right

[Chrous]
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

[Verse 2]
Now listen
I said I went to my doctor
First thing he talked about is malnutrition
I'm not tryin' to be a fat man
I've got to look after my ambition

[Chrous]
Long as I got a toehold
Long as I got a piece of you, girl
Long as I got a toehold
I can make it through

[Bridge]
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!
[Verse 3]
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
But that's alright

[Chrous]
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

[Bridge]
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!

[Verse 4]
That's all I want baby, to tell me that you love me sometimes
That make me know I got a toehold
When you tell me, said "John, I need ya"
That makes me know I got a toehold
Every time you look deep in my eyes, darling
Makes me know you need me
[Outro]
I want a little little little little little little little little little toehold
Give it to me baby!
