Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (would you hold me down, hold me down baby)
What would you do if it was different (would you hold me down, hold me down baby)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Would you hold me down like I held you down
Listen
Now I work hard (hm-mm)
For us to live here in this brand new house
And I wonder sometimes
Do you appreciate me being around?
Now I been holding it down from the beginning, yea
Ever since you got with me, girl you been winning yea
I buy you fancy clothes, you drive a fancy car
But Lord knows that's not all
I get your nails done, your hair done too
I even throw in extra just to comfort you
And I can't help but wonder if you'd be
Still right here if I lost everything
If the tables turn yeah
Baby would you stay right here (if the tables turn)
Baby would you pay my bills, yeah (if the tables turn, yeah)
And you had to take the lead (if the tables turn)
Baby would you do the same for me?
So, if I said that my money wasn't right, how would you look at me?
If I said I need to borrow something, would you look at me differently?
What if I need some alone time, I just need time to myself
Would we have an understanding?
Or would you accuse me of seeing someone else?
What if I told you I was tired, I told you I wasn't in the mood
Right now I'm just curious
Curious to see what would you do
(If the tables turn)
Baby would you stay right here? (Would you stay right here?) (if the tables turn)
Baby would you pay my bills? (Pay my bills) (if the tables turn, yeah)
And you had to take the lead (take the lead) (if the tables turn)
Baby would you do the same for me? (Would you do the same for me?)
You ain't even gotta ask me 'cause you know I'ma hold it down
I got your front, I got your back bae
Ain't got no reason to be looking around
See, I know I gotta a real good mane
And I appreciate everything you do
You got a grown woman on your side
Never gon' turn my back on you
You can tell me if you want too
But I already know what you need
I'll take the lead with you beside me
Your girl gon' hold down everything
If the tables turn yea (ooh, yeah)
Baby would you stay right here? (I got you baby) (if the tables turn) (hmm)
Baby would you pay my bills? (Hell yeah, I got it) (if the tables turn, yeah)
And you had to take the lead (I'ma step on in) (if the tables turn) (ooh)
Baby would you do the same for me? (Holding ya down 'til the end)
I wanted to know (hold me down, hold me down baby)
I needed to know (would you hold me down, hold me down baby)
Girl I had to know (would you hold me down, hold me down baby)
Would you hold me? (Hold me down, like I held you down)
Oh, yeah
