Holding Me Down

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?"
