[Verse 1]
Your body's got a hold on me
Oh, 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 lonely nights
When I'm lonely with no place to go
Long as you leave before light
But I want to know why

[Chorus 1]
Something's holding on
I'd really rather be alone
Something's holding on
Don't want you for my very own

[Verse 2]
You really whet my appetites
And stimulate my glands
As long as what you wear looks right, mmhmm
And you keep to the weight I choose
Under covers we hide
Getting into the real thing, baby
Faking love, we ignite
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 so long
It's holding on too strong

[Bridge]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Na na na
Yeah, yeah
Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba

[Chorus 3]
Something's holding on
Something's holding on
Must be love that's holding on
'Cause without our love so strong
We don't even get along

[Outro]
Oh, whoa
Oh, whoa
