Mouse Powell, Sara Robinson - You Don’t Wanna Hold Me lyrics

Aye, yeah, yeah (Oh, baby)
Alright i don't wanna hold you down

There's ropes in the ashtray
There's graffiti in the backyard
But I ain't moving nowhere new
I met you on a Monday you was headed uptown
And I was headed nowhere soon

You don't wanna hold me
And I don't wanna hold you

My momma loved the pastor
She prayed every weekend
But my papa played them ponies too
And so baby if you want it
You should live it how you want to
Cause we ain't saving any help for you

You don't wanna hold me
And I don't wanna hold you
You don't wanna hold me
And I don't wanna hold you down

You don't wanna hold me
And I don't wanna hold you (down)

And I hope you never grow up, kid
I hope you never, ever, ever blow up big
I hope you find hope in that home you built
I hope you find love
And long, really, you should live
I mean long enough to reminisce
Just know it ain't never enough
You know, the nights you'll remember most
Are the ones you don't remember at all
Now, this is crazy and I
Never told no one but
I'm honestly terrified of growing up
Used to write rhymes about grown up stuff
Now I try to write wrongs, but I know my luck
You don't wanna hold me
And I don't wanna hold you down
