Justin Bieber Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They hold on tight
Yeah, they hold on tight
Ooh, they hold on tight
Them lips won't let me go
(Lips won't let me go, lips won't let me go, oh)
Yeah, they hold on tight
Ooh, they hold on tight
Them lips won't let me go
Don't let this go to your head
But you're the best, I've ever had
Not to mention
That thing is swollen
You got me oh so in a trance
Something like a Ziploc, but a lip lock
Want you wrapped around my arm like a wrist watch
Oh, so hard walking out
Got me stuck like crazy glue, ooh
They hold on tight
Yeah, they hold on tight
Ooh, they hold on tight
Them lips won't let me go
(Lips won't let me go, lips won't let me go, oh)
They hold on tight
Yeah, they hold on tight
Ooh, they hold on tight
Them lips won't let me go
Got me tossing, turning in the bed
Your place is where I rather be instead
You don't know your strength
Missing you is like adrenaline
Oh, when you got me in a gridlock
What a great spot
Yeah, that turned up kind of love and it just won't stop
No, so hard walking out
Got me stuck like crazy glue, ooh babe
They hold on tight
Yeah, they hold on tight
Ooh, they hold on tight
Them lips won't let me go
(Lips won't let me go, lips won't let me go, oh)
They hold on tight
Yeah, they hold on tight
Ooh, they hold on tight
Them lips won't let me go, no babay
Holding back the faces I would make
I'm a fan and you're the rock star
Making it hard on me
Visualize a monster
'Cause you're too bad for me
Shot that arrow, I'm hit
Need you right near me
Trying to maintain, so don't mind if I turn away (no, no)
I try to maintain, so don't mind if I turn away
They hold on tight
Yeah, they hold on tight
Ooh, they hold on tight
Them lips won't let me go
(Lips won't let me go, lips won't let me go, oh)
They hold on tight
Yeah, they hold on tight
Ooh, they hold on tight
Them lips won't let me go

This still has me in a chokehold. I remember being 15 and obsessed with this
@crazy4corbinbleux
This EP literally made up the soundtrack to my College experience. Every time I hear the intro of 'Heartbreaker', the funky groove of 'Rollercoaster', the chorus of 'Hold Tight' or the nostalgic 'Swap It Out' I almost get into tears. If I close my eyes I think of walking through Boulder campus with my headphones in, fresh snow covering the ground and tree branches, studying for my exams, working out at the rec center, getting dressed to go to a party. Justin, thank you for making the songs that will bring me back to some of the greatest times of my life growing up- leaving home for the first time and becoming a young adult.
@yourgirlfriendwannabeme
@@crazy4corbinbleux yeah swap it out and heartbreaker are top tier ! Rnbieber is the best !
