[English]

Hold It, Don't Drop It (Hold It, Push It)

You don't Know what you're doin'

What you doin' to me

Try to stop me, can't stop me

Cause you know what I need

You got me all open and now you tryin to leave

Hold It, Don't Drop It (Don't Drop It)

Stop it, (cant stop it, wont stop it)

Every time I try to run, something keeps stopping me (stopping me)

I try my best to turn around, but your touch wont let me leave

I cant control it, you put something inside of me

Cause you're a problem

Boy you must have poisoned me

You don't know what you're doin'

What you doin' to me

Try to stop me, can't stop me

Cause you know what I need

You got me all open and now you tryin to leave

Hold It, Don't Drop It

Don't Drop It

Stop it, cant stop it

Wont stop it

Oh I must be bugging

Let me play those things I don't understand

(I can't understand)

You don't know what you're doin'

What you doin' to me

Try to stop me, can't stop me

Cos you know what I need

You got me all open and now you tryin to leave

Hold It, Don't Drop It

Don't Drop It

Stop it, cant stop it

Wont stop it
