Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What you're doin' to me
Tryin' to stop it, can't stop it
'Cause you got what I need
You got me all open
And now you're tryin' to leave
Hold it, don't drop it, don't drop it
Every time I try to run
Something keeps stoppin' me (oh keeps stoppin' me)
I try my best to turn around
But your touch won't let me leave
Uh uh, yeah yeah
I cant control it
You put something inside of me, ooh
'Cause you're a problem
Boy, you must've poisoned me oh ho
You don't know what you're doin'
What you're doin' to me
Tryin to stop it, can't stop it
'Cause you got what I need
You got me all open
And now you're tryin' to leave
Hold it, don't drop it, don't drop it
Stop it, can't stop it, won't stop it
Boy, I must be buggin'
Let you play those games I don't understand (oh I can't understand)
I'll be the yo-yo on a string
Goin' down I come right back to your hands
Uh uh, that's right, uh
I make excuses, but we keep on rockin' anyway ooh
But it ain't workin', when I let you go you make me stay
You don't know what you're doin'
What you're doin' to me
Tryin' to stop it, can't stop it
'Cause you got what I need
You got me all open
And now you're tryin' to leave
Hold it, don't drop it, don't drop it
Stop it, can't stop it, won't stop it
Don't let me (me) leave (leave)
Control (control) of me (of me)
You got what (you got what) I need (I need yeah)
Hold it, don't drop it, don't drop it
Stop it, can't stop it, won't stop it
Won't let you go, can't let you leave
I need your love inside of me
You got control, control of me
Hold it, don't drop it, don't drop it
Stop it, can't stop it, won't stop it
You don't know what you're doin'
What you're doin' to me
Tryin' to stop it, cant stop it
'Cause you got what I need
You got me all open
And now you're tryin' to leave
Hold it, don't drop it, don't drop it
Stop it, can't stop it, won't stop it
You don't know what you're doin'

Tryin to stop it, cant stop it
'Cause you got what I need
You got me all open
And now youre tryin' to leave
Hold it, don't drop it, don't drop it
Stop it, can't stop it, won't stop it
The lyrics to Jennifer Lopez's song "Hold It Don't Drop It" express the singer's struggle to resist the temptation of a lover who has a hold on her. She acknowledges her lack of control over her feelings and her physical response to the lover's touch. The repeated phrase "Hold it, don't drop it" can be interpreted as a plea to the lover not to let go of their connection or as the singer's attempt to maintain her own composure and not give in completely to her desire.
Despite her attempts to break free and turn away, the singer finds herself caught in a cycle of attraction and rejection, unable to resist the lover's hold over her. The lines "I make excuses, but we keep on rockin' anyway / But it ain't workin', when I let you go you make me stay" suggest that the singer is aware of the unhealthy nature of their relationship but feels powerless to escape it.
Overall, the song provides a glimpse into the complex emotions and struggles that can arise in a passionate but ultimately destructive love affair.

Still one of my favourite JLo songs. The label really dropped the ball on this one.
@frankmartinez3020
U mean the Disco ball 😀
@DegrassiInstantStar
I can't entirely blame Epic Records... she was pregnant with twins at this point, and about to tour with Marc, hence the outfits and her not showing her stomach on the chair!
@elHEARTBREAKER
Another great JLO song that went practically unnoticed. It's a shame because it is excellent.
