"Holding Me Down" lyrics

If I had it my way, I would
Start all over, start all over
The past is killing you and I
And we must admit we can't get over
We can't get over

Holding me, holding me, holding me down
Holding me down
Holding me, holding me, holding me down
Holding me down

I wanna be like a bird in the sky
Flying with freedom in my own mind
You want me there just to stay by your side
I wasn't born to come down to size

Holding me, holding me, holding me down
Holding me down
Holding me, holding me, holding me down
Holding me down

Baby, won't you tell me what I gotta do?
Caught up in circles, fighting for you
Nothing you can tell me gonna break the rules
Tired of this pain, tell me, "Are you?"
