[Verse 1]
Oh, this time is right
Oh, but I'm wound too tight
Never keep, never sleep, never find all the time
That I need just to stay in line
Gotta go, got to throw all the crap to the side
So that I'm never left by the wayside

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on, wait a minute, can't leave here
And then she broke down
No, uh huh
No, uh huh

[Interlude]
Can't hold me down, can't slow me down

[Verse 2]
Oh, stop stepping in my way
Not quite what I thought you'd say
Never find, never mind, never peace
God, at least give me strength just for one more try
Got to give, need to live long enough just to say
That I stayed to the end of the big time

[Pre-Chorus]
Hold on, wait a minute, can't leave here
And then she broke down
No, uh huh
No, uh huh
[Chorus]
Can't hold me down, can't slow me down
No, uh huh
Never hold me down, never slow me down
No

[Bridge]
Never, never, never, never, never, never know, never slow
You can't hold me down
Never, never, never, never, never, never know, never hold
You can't slow me down
Never, never, never, never, never, never know, never slow
You can't hold me down

[Chorus]
Can't hold me down, can't slow me down
No, uh huh
Never hold me down, never slow me down
No, uh huh

[Outro]
Can't hold me down
Can't slow me down
