Holding Me Down
I'm not a goddess
I'm just a girl
Looking for something
I've never found
Then I turned around
And I found you
Holding me down
What's a girl to do
When friends tell her
She could have any man
That she wants to
When the men
Just wanna have
Their way with you
Don't wanna be used
No, I don't wanna be abused
I thought you were different
From all the other boys
Who want to treat
You like a toy
But I turned around
And I found you
Holding me down
There's got to be someone
Who's gonna love me
For who I am
But you got me thinking
That love is a sham
Can't you take me
As I am
I'm only human
That's what I am
You never made a sound
Then I.turned around
And I found you
Holding me down
I'm just a girl
Looking for something
I've never found
Then I turned around
And I found you
Holding me down
What's a girl to do
When friends tell her
She could have any man
That she wants to
When the men
Just wanna have
Their way with you
Don't wanna be used
No, I don't wanna be abused
I thought you were different
From all the other boys
Who want to treat
You like a toy
But I turned around
And I found you
Holding me down
There's got to be someone
Who's gonna love me
For who I am
But you got me thinking
That love is a sham
Can't you take me
As I am
I'm only human
That's what I am
You never made a sound
Then I.turned around
And I found you
Holding me down

Thank you for your wonderful remarks. You have me wondering if you are an intuitive like I am. I'm not trying to be funny but if you are I would like to know who I will be meeting and when.

Faith, I am curious; have you put any of your lyrics to music? And if so, is there a link?

Thank you, my friend! I don't know how to write music so I reached out to several musician friends for help. Both times I got really excited thinking I was close to making a record worthy song. Both of them dropped the ball and I ended up stuck once more. On the bright side, most of my blues lyrics were published in a book out of Louisiana years ago.
