"Can't Hold Me Down" lyrics

Oh you can't hold me down
I wanna do what I wanna do when I wanna do it
Can't hold me down
I'm gonna get what I wanna get when I wanna get it
Won't let
Anything, come in-between my way
No matter what you say!
Can't hold me down down
Can't hold me down down

Whoa now I'm use to making the calls
Slow down, who do you think you are
To be telling me where I gotta be
And when I gotta be there
I'm a little feisty so you better beware
I don't wanna be b-b-boxed in
But you give me no o-o-option
Gotta have my
I-n-d-e-p-e-n-d-e-n-c-e

I tried
To understand your side
Do what is right
But you don't wanna hear me out
Maybe it's time
That I
Tell you now

Oh you can't hold me down
I wanna do what I wanna do when I wanna do it
Can't hold me down
I'm gonna get what I wanna get when I wanna get it
Won't let
Anything, come in-between my way
No matter what you say!
Can't hold me down down
Can't hold me down down

Gotta go, gotta leave, gotta get out
It's getting old, to me, I'm bouta break down
And if I gotta stay here another minute more
I'm gonna go crazy, burst through the door
So let me think it over
Think it over
Find a way to leave here, moving closer
Halfway 'cross the floor
I'm sure the freedoms nice
It's almost mine
I-I

I tried
To understand your side
Do what is right
But you don't wanna hear me out
Maybe it's time
That I
Tell you now

Oh you can't hold me down
I wanna do what I wanna do when I wanna do it
Can't hold me down
I'm gonna get what I wanna get when I wanna get it
Won't let
Anything, come in-between my way
No matter what you say!
Can't hold me down down
Can't hold me down down
