“Holding Me Down” was i...
[Verse 1]
I used to get mad at your rules
You used to get sad with your fools
I'd see you laughin' at, like a clown
I'd see you'd been had as I walked around town
[Refrain 1]
(Ooh-woo-o-ooh) Holding me down, you're holding me down
Just like I know you're holding me down
Holding me down, you're holding me down
Just like I know you're holding me down
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I'd wonder where you'd be
Walking white lines on every street team
I'd look in your eyes, and see just a fool
I'd look in your eyes, and see it's not cool
[Refrain 1]
(Ooh-woo-o-ooh) Holding me down, you're holding me down
Just like I know you're holding me down
Holding me down, you're holding me down
Just like I know you're holding me down
[Bridge]
Holding me, holding me
Holding me down (Ooh-woo-o-ooh)
Holding me, holding me
Holding me down (Ooh-woo-o-ooh)
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
I'd look in your eyes, and see just a fool
I'd look in your eyes, and see it's not cool
[Refrain 2]
(Ooh-woo-o-ooh) Holding me down, you're holding me down
Just like I know you're holding me down
Holding me down, you're holding me down
Just like I know you're holding me down
Holding me down, you're holding me down
Just like I know you're holding me down
Holding me down, you're holding me down
Just like I know you're holding me down
[Outro]
