[Estribillo]

Taking a hold
Taking a hold
Taking a hold on me
Oh, naw

Taking a hold
This is taking a hold
This is taking a hold
It's taking a hold on me

[Verso 1]

Baby, will you take the pain away from me?
Make it feel like everything will be okay
Tell me that I haven't made a mistake
Tell me that you'll never go away

[Estribillo]

Taking a hold
Taking a hold
Taking a hold on me
Oh, naw

Taking a hold
This is taking a hold
This is taking a hold
It's taking a hold on me

[Verso 2]

Baby, can't you see that I'm lost without you
With all of the times that you've made me weak, uh-uh
Tell me that I haven't made a mistake
Tell me that you'll never go away

[Estribillo]

Taking a hold
Taking a hold
Taking a hold on me
Oh, naw

Taking a hold
This is taking a hold
This is taking a hold
It's taking a hold on me
