Two Weeks Late - Lick'n a Promise Lyrics

(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)

Hanging by a thread
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Two steps back
One foot closer to the edge
Worn out souls tap dancing on the ledge
Trying to make tails from heads
Na Na Na Na

Holding it together
Holding it together though
Holding it together
Holding it together though
Lick and a promise and we gon' hold it together
Yea a lick and a promise and we gon' hold it together now

Got down on my knees this morning
To count my blessings
Couldn't count all of 'em
Last night's news said be scared
But the sun came up and the sky's still there

Hanging by a thread
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)

Two steps back
One foot closer to the edge
Worn out souls tap dancing on the ledge
Trying to make tails from heads
Na Na Na Na

Holding it together
Holding it together though
Holding it together
Holding it together though
A lick and a promise and we gon' hold it together yea
A lick and a promise and we gon' hold it together now

Do my favors
Pay my dues
(Ooh)
Please don't mind my Ps and Qs
(Oh)
Take my licks
I grin and I bear it
But ain't no time to be embarrassed
When you hanging by a thread

(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)

Two steps back
One foot closer to the edge
Worn out souls tap dancing on the ledge
Trying to make tails from heads
Na Na Na Na

Holding it together
Holding it together though
(Mmm mmm mmm)
Holding it together
Holding it together though
(Mmm mmm mmm)
A lick and a promise and we gon' hold it together yea
A lick and a promise and we gon' hold it together now

Shed my tears
I give my blood
Pour my heart
It ain't enough
Someone's always asking for something
It could be worse
When no one wants nothing from me
So happy to say
Whatever happen today
If I bend over backwards, land flat on my face
I can pick up the pieces put em where they belong
No matter how many times I've tried and gotten it wrong

I'm Holding it together
Holding it together yea
I'm holding it together
Holding it together yea
A lick and a promise and I'ma hold it together yea
A lick and a promise and we gon' hold it together now

(Ooh ooh ooh ooh)

Two steps back
One foot closer to the edge
Worn out souls tap dancing on the ledge
Can't make tails from heads
Na Na Na Na
(Help me Lord)
Holding it together
Yea holding it together
(Holding it together)
Lick and a promise and we gon' hold it together yea
A lick and a promise
Whatever

I bide my time till next pay day
Counting tomorrow that's two weeks away
Not much earned
A lot less saved
Not enough time or energy
No no
To stay on top of every new thing
Ragged and used but I'ma make it through
A little bubblegum and some old shoe string, kinda

Holding it together
Holding it together look
I'm holding it together
Holding it together yea
Lick and a promise
And I'ma hold it together yea
Just a lick and a promise
Don't let me lose it forever
(Ooh yea)
