I still remember the first time you kissed me
Your lips tasted like pink cotton candy
And the way that we danced at your sweet sixteen
To Brittany Spears and the Backstreet Boys

Girl you held me too close
And you were hollowing at the moon
When you held me too close
I said it's too soon

I realize that you are holding me down
I , I, I realize that holding on too tight will hold you down

Three years passed and you were off to college
You graduated at the top of your class
And that's when I called you and I said how you doing
Damn girl how the time has passed

Girl you held me too close
And you were hollowing at the moon
When you held me too close
I said it's too soon

I realize you are holding me down
I, I, I realize that holding on too tight will hold you 
I, I, I realize that holding on too tight will hold you down

(Solo break) 
And when I'm strong I grow wiser
And when I'm wise well that's when I realize
Holding on too tight will hold you 

I realize that you are holding me down
I, I, I realize that holding on too tight will hold you down
I, I, I, realize that holding on too tight will hold you down

Well now that I'm grown and I've got my babies
I often think about what you're doing now
Cause I remember the days when we were young and restless
Screaming and hollowing in the light of the moon

Girl you held me too close
And you were hollowing at the moon
When you held me too close
I said it's too soon

I realize that you are holding me down
I, I, I realize that holding on too tight will hold you down
I, I, I, realize that holding on too tight will hold you down
I still remember the first time you kissed me
Your lips were tasty like pink cotton candy
