You can tell me to breathe
What to say when I talk
Climb on my back
You slide down my neck
And use my face for a walk
You can tell me to smile
You can make things worthwhile
Need slap as I cry
Probably laugh as I try
To figure out what you're smiling about
Send me straight of to hell
To find a story to tell
And you know that I will
Make my life worth my while
Give me a reason to smile
You better hurry
And I hope that you will
Don't ever hold me down
Don't ever hold me down
♪
Choose your life, it's you choice
♪
To fall asleep with the noise
Yell at me and the guys
When it's been one of those nights
You're probably right
Oh, when you open your mouth
The pretty words that roll out
You point your finger at me
You've seen the worst I can be
I hope you know what that means
Send me straight of to hell
To find a story to tell
And you know that I will
Make my life with my while
Give me a reason to smile
And you'd better hurry
And I hope that you will
Don't ever hold me down
Don't ever hold me down
Not the talkative of kind
♪
And yesterday is behind
And I believe that it's better that way
You send me straight of to hell
To find a story to tell
For you to go there
And you know that I will
But don't you step on my brain
It drives a man insane
And it's nothing to be laughing about
I got nothing to prove
I'll be the fool for you
If there's anything,
I'll help you out
But don't you ever hold me down
But don't you ever hold me down
You've got, you've got nothing to hold me down
Don't ever hold me down
