Verse

Anywhere you go, anyone you meet

)

Remember that your eyes can be your enemies

  I said hell is so close, and heavens out of reach

Pre-chorus

But I ain't giving up quite yet,

 I've got too much to lose,

Chorus

 Hold me down, sweet and low little girl

 Hold me down, sweet and low and I will carry you home,

 Hold me down, sweet and low little girl

Hold me down

 and i'll carry you home.

Verse

The rain is gonna fall, the sun is gonna shine

The wind is gonna blow, the water's gonna rise

  She said, when that day comes look into my eyes

Pre-chorus

But no ones giving up quite yet;

 we've got too much to lose...

Chorus

 Hold me down, sweet and low little girl

 Hold me down, sweet and low and I will carry you home,

 Hold me down, sweet and low little girl

Hold me down

and i'll carry you....

Bridge

all the way

 When you say you're fine

 But you're still young and out of line,

 When all I need's to turn around

 To make it last, to make it count,

I ain't gonna make the same mistakes

 That put my mama in her grave

I don't wanna be alone.

Chorus

 Hold me down, sweet and low little girl

 Hold me down, sweet and low and I will carry you home,

 Hold me down, sweet and low little girl

Hold me down

 and i'll carry you home.
