Hold Up Lyrics

[Intro]
Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up
Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up

[Verse 1]
Had enough of these modern times
About to drive me out of my mind
And you know this too well
I'm holed up in my little cell
Yeah!

[Chorus]
Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up

[Verse 2]
Whoo!
Friends took me to a freak show
But I think I've seen it all before
Well, can I get a look at you girl
Maybe take a peek in your world
Yeah!

[Chorus]
Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up

[Guitar solo]
[Bridge]
Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up
Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up

[Verse 3]
Modern girl, you're so kind
You're gonna help me get through this time
Well, and you know me too well
You didn't break a bone, you broke into my prison cell

[Outro]
Hold up
Hold up
I'm holed up
Hold up
Hold up
Yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
