[Intro]
(Do-, do-, do-, do-, don't, don't)
(Don't you hold me down)
(Do-, do-, do-, do-, don't, don't)
(Don't you hold me down)

[Verse 1]
I've been feelin' all the pressure
I'd been lookin' for a sign, mmm
I don't love you any lesser
I just need a little time

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm sorry but for real
Don't wanna be tied up
Don't wanna feel too much
There's things I wanna do, oh no don't

[Chorus]
(Do-, do-, do-, do-, don't, don't)
(Don't you hold me down)
(Do-, do-, do-, do-, don't, don't)
(Don't you hold me down)
(Do-, do-, do-, do-, don't, don't)
(Don't you hold me down)
(Do-, do-, do-, do-, don't, don't)
(Don't you hold me down)
[Verse 2]
I've been waitin' for a lifetime
I don't wanna miss a chance, mmm
All my visions coming to life
And you know I got bigger plans

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm sorry but for real
Don't wanna be tied up
Don't wanna feel too much
There's things I wanna do, oh no don't

[Chorus]
(Do-, do-, do-, do-, don't, don't)
(Don't you hold me down)
(Do-, do-, do-, do-, don't, don't)
(Don't you hold me down)
(Do-, do-, do-, do-, don't, don't)
(Don't you hold me down)
(Do-, do-, do-, do-, don't, don't)
(Don't you hold me down)

[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh
Don't you hold me, hold me now
Slow me, slow me down
Ooh, ooh
Don't you hold me, hold me now
Slow me, slow me down
[Outro]
