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
