[Verse 1]
Your body's got a hold on me
(It's hard to understand)
How your flesh can take control of me, mmhmm
When I don't care that much for you
You're good for only nights
When I'm lonely with no place to go
Long as you leave before light
And I want to know why

[Chorus 1]
Something's holding on
(You'd really rather be alone)
Something's holding on
(He don't want you for his very own)

[Verse 2]
You really whet my appetites
And stimulate my glands
As long as what you wear looks right
And you keep to the weight I choose
Under covers we hide
Getting into the real thing, baby
Faking love, we get tight
But I still want to know why
[Chorus 2]
Something's holding on
Something's holding on
Something else is holding on
It's holding on too strong
It's holding on too long

[Bridge]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Hey, hey
Ba ba ba ba ba

[Chorus 3]
Something's holding on
Something's holding on
Must be love that's holding on
But if you cut off all my fun
I'll be telling you, "so long"

[Outro]
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
