Hold Me Down Songtext
von Mr. Fantasy

Well, I ran after you, girl
No matter how hard I tried
You keep gettin′ further and further away
And now you're gone
C′mon

Now don't try to fantasize
I've already gone and fell for your lines
Baby, is that just the way it is?
Yes, that′s just the way it is

But I worked hard for you, girl
And you′ve got me mystified
You said I'm not your holy grail tonight, baby
Is that just the way it is?
Yes, that′s just the way it is


But now you're trying to hold me down
You drove a stake right through my heart
You used to hold me
But now you′re trying to hold me down
I should have known right from the start
That you would love me
And then you'd go and throw me out

And I just can′t stop loving you as I do, oh, baby
Drove a stake right through my heart
You used to hold me
But now you're trying to hold me down

I don't even recognize
The light has gone and fell from your eyes, baby
Is that just the way it is?
Yes, that′s just the way it is

But I worked hard for you, girl
And don′t try to sympathize (don't try)
′Cause it's only gonna hurt you now, baby
Is that just the way it is?
Yes, that′s just the way it is


But now you're tryna hold me down
You drove a stake right through my heart
You used to hold me
But now you′re tryna hold me down
I should have known right from the start
That you would love me
And then you'd go and throw me out

And I just can't stop loving you as I do, oh, baby
Drove a stake right through my heart
You used to hold me
But now you′re tryna hold me down

Oh, oh, my love, oh, why you tryin′ to hold me?
You're tryna hold me down
To hold me down
You′re tryna hold me
Oh, why don't you love me
You′re tryna hold me down, down, down, down
But now you're tryna, but now you′re tryna
But now you're tryna, but now you're tryna hold me down

You drove a stake right through my heart
You used to hold me
But now you′re tryna hold me down
I should have known right from the start
That you would love me
And then you′d go and throw me out

And I just can't stop loving you as I do, oh baby
Drove a stake right through my heart
You used to hold me
But now you′re tryna hold me down

But now you're tryna (yeah)
Now you′re tryna, but now you're tryna (hold me down)
You′re trying to hold me down
Now you're tryna, but now you're tryna
Now you′re tryna hold me down

But you′re never gonna hold me down (no)
Never, never gonna hold me down (never never)
Never, never gonna hold me down
Never, never gonna hold me down (hold me down)
But you're never gonna hold me down
Never, never gonna hold me down (yeah)
Never, never gonna hold me down
Never, never gonna hold me down (hold me down)
