Hold Me Down
The Simps Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I'm around
I just wanna be your love
For one night, yeah
Hold it down
Do you wanna be my love tonight?
Yeah
When you're around
I just wanna love you for one night
Alright
Hold it down
Do you wanna be my love tonight?
Yeah

When you're around
I just wanna live your love tonight
Alright, alright, alright
Hold it down
Do you wanna be my love tonight?
Yeah
When you're around
I just wanna live your love tonight
Yeah
Hold it down
I just wanna use your love tonight
Yeah

She was talking dirty (fuck you)
Was 11:30 at night (don't ever call me)
She looking good, ah
She smelling good, ah
She rolling with the backwoods, ah
That girl's a freak
She want it up and down the street
Does she want me?
Girl, I don't know what you want (don't want to ever see your face again)
Girl, I don't know what you want (you're the worst ever)

F-familiar face
I cannot erase
I see you everywhere
But we just go our ways
Pretend we don't know
What is going on
I've been into you
For so so long
Well I've been into you
For so long
Hoping you'd make a move
For so long

Well I've been into you
For so long




Hoping you'd make a move
For so long
