You used to tell me that you understood What I was going through You know I'd give up almost anything To be with you And now you're acting like you didn't know What I was looking for Seems every time we fight it's always when I'm at the door Well, did you change your mind Or are we out of time? Don't hold me down don't hold me down I need this side of me Don't hold me down don't stop me now Love me or set me free Don't hold me down don't hold me down I need my room to breathe We've come to far to turn around Don't hold me down! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don't hold me down Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah You tell me that you really care About the way I feel How am I supposed to know If you're for real You act like you're the only one Who needs to move ahead Choose between your life or me Is all he said Well, did you change your mind Or are we out of time? What happened to the man I know The one who never let me go No matter what I say or do I found that man in you Never scared or insecure Always ready to endure So much room for something more What are we fighting for
