[Verse 1]
In the niAght, in the midBmdle of the dGay
I call you ovAer, but you aBmlways hesiGtate
Used to tAell me, "We should leBmave it up to fGate"
Now I knAow that I don't evBmer have to waGit
[Pre-Chorus]
CloAse my Bmeyes, let doGwn my hair
I'm thinking 'bout whAat I wBmant is gonna taGke me there
TuArn the dBmial on the sGtereo
I'm thinking 'bout wAho I wBmant, and I woGn't let go
[Chorus]
YAou can't hold me nBmow, only GI can do that
YoAu can't hold me nBmow, only GI can do that
YoAu can't hold me nBmow, only GI can do that
YoAu can't hold me nBmow, hold Gme now, ooh
[Verse 2]
In a t-Ashirt, in my sBmatin lingerGie
A little loAwer, little hiBmgher, change pGace
Used to waiAt here, but you'd aBmlways be too lGate
Now I can gAo there, and I nBmever have to fGake
[Pre-Chorus]
CloAse my Bmeyes, let doGwn my hair
I'm thinking 'bout whAat I wBmant is gonna taGke me there
TuArn the dBmial on the sGtereo
I'm thinking 'bout wAho I wBmant, and I woGn't let go
[Chorus]
YAou can't hold me nBmow, only GI can do that
YoAu can't hold me nBmow, only GI can do that
YoAu can't hold me nBmow, only GI can do that
YoAu can't hold me nBmow, hold Gme now, ooh
