You can hold me But you can't hold me down Since I was a kid It wasn't easy to fit I was moving around Every couple of years Every friend that I had Was a friend that I had to leave And now that I am A more experienced man Now I have to believe It's all part of the plan I still don't belong But I belong in your arms You can hold me But you can't hold me down It happens with lovers It happens with friends You push them away Just by closing them in Every friend that you have Is a friend that will have to leave So taking my hand Is a good way to start To open the door You just open your heart I will show you for free Just how free you can be You can hold me But you can't hold me down When you're wrapping your arms around me And I'm feeling your love surround me Oh that's when I feel freedom When you're wrapping your arms around me And I'm feeling your love surround me Oh that's when I feel free Hold me Don't hold me down You can hold me But you can't hold me down
