Hold Me Down
Toby Randall Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

Every time you leave
I let you take the best of me
But you can have a baby
You know I don't mind
Whenever I'm alone
The universe is testing me
Cause I know that if it was meant to be
Then you'd be mine

Everything I felt, yeah, I know you felt too
When it all got real
Said that you'd me here
But it only scared you

You can say what you want to me (woo!)
Woo hoo, ooh (uh)
I just wanted you to hold me down
You can take what you want from me (woo!)
Woo hoo, ooh (uh)
I just wanted you to hold me down
You can take what you want from me

Woo hoo, ooh (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)
Just hold me down
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Baby hold me now
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Baby hold me down
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

Try to run away
You know that I'll run after you
But even when I catch you
I'm out of breath
Uh, I gave you all my love
I never got it back from you
I'd be with someone else but there's nothing left

Everything I felt, yeah, I know you felt too
When it all got real
Said that you'd me here
But it only scared you

You can say what you want to me (woo!)
Woo hoo, ooh (uh)
I just wanted you to hold me down
You can take what you want from me (woo!)
Woo hoo, ooh (uh)
I just wanted you to hold be down
You can take what you want from me

Woo hoo, ooh (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)
Just hold me down
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Baby hold me now
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Baby hold me down
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh

Don't want someone like you
There's just something about you
Don't know why you can't just
Hold me down the way you used to

Don't want someone like you
There's just something about you
Don't know why you can't just
Hold me down the way you used to

You can say what you want to me (woo!)
Woo hoo, ooh (uh)
I just wanted you to hold me down
You can take what you want from me (woo!)
Woo hoo, ooh (uh)
I just wanted you to hold be down
You can take what you want from me

Woo hoo, ooh (Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh)
Just hold me down
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Baby hold me now
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Baby hold me down




Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Baby, hold me down
