Look out my baby she comes around here,
She comes around stealing the show
I don't have the answers but I'll take my chances
But somebody just don't know
She come and love me good, and she move me so,
I'm happy to let you all know
Don't you hold me down (Don't you hold me down)
Yeah don't you hold me down (Don't you hold me down)
Some people love to move and stir it up good
Some people only aim to amuse,
I've been wasting no time with a love so fine
Believe me I got nothing to lose
Put away your strife and our misery
And love the woman you aim to hold
Don't you hold me down (Don't you hold me down)
Yeah don't you hold me down (Don't you hold me down)
Yeah don't you hold me down
Come on lift your head
'Cause blue skies are beckoning
And don't you bring me down
'Cause I'm on my way
And I've got a woman she go down low
I tell you she makes everything ok
But don't you hold me down (Don't you hold me down)
Yeah don't you hold me down (Don't you hold me down)
If you got a worry and no place to go
And you feel everything is against (you)
Running away from trouble you only make it double
So come on you know it makes no sense
Put away your strife and your misery
And love the woman you aim to hold
Don't you hold me down (Don't you hold me down)
Don't you hold me down (Don't you hold me down)
Yeah don't you hold me down
Come on lift your head
'Cause blue skies are beckoning
And don't you bring me down
'Cause I'm on my way
And I've got a woman she go down low
I tell you she makes everything ok
Don't you hold me down (Don't you hold me down)
Don't you hold me down (Don't you hold me down)
Don't you hold me down (Don't you hold me down)
Don't you hold me down
We got the time on our hands and the chance to believe, yeah
Though the road is steep, I feel a premonition within.
'Cause when your back's to the wall, won't you stand up all, yeah
But you can't, you can't, you can't, you can't, don't give in
Don't you hold me down
Yeah don't you hold me down
Come on lift your head
'Cause blue skies are beckoning
And don't you bring me down
'Cause I'm on my way
And I've got a woman she go down low
I tell you she makes everything ok
Don't you hold me down (Don't you hold me down)
Don't you hold me down now (Don't you hold me down)
Don't you hold me down (Don't you hold me down)
Don't you hold me down now (Don't you hold me down)
Don't you hold me down (Don't you hold me down)
Don't you hold me down (Don't you hold me down)
Don't you hold me, don't you hold me do-down (Don't you hold me down)
Don't you hold me down oh
One Two Three Four!
What A Hot End
