Slow indie blues rock track about staying in a toxic relationship.
lyrics
Baby’s got a hold on me
Baby’s got a hold on me
Babe it’s getting hard to breathe
Cuz Baby’s got a hold on me
And I try so hard, but I can’t leave
Cuz Baby’s got a hold on me
I keep on letting you down
Cuz I can’t give you what you need
How dare you keep sticking around
Bringing me down to my knees
Why don’t you just say we’re through
You won’t say you love me too
Baby’s got a hold on me
Baby’s got a hold on me
Babe it’s getting hard to breathe
Cuz Baby’s got a hold on me
And I try so hard, but I can’t leave
Cuz Baby’s got a hold on me
You charmed your way in quick with a sneak attack
Felt your claws digging deep in my tender back
But all this lonely girl needs
Is some contact, some contact.
You say I’m no good
And they say you’re no good for me
Why don’t you, why don’t you, why don’t you leave
And set me free
Cuz Babe you've got, got a hold on me
Baby it’s getting hard to breathe
And I try so hard, but I, I can’t leave
Cuz Baby’s got, got a hold on me
Baby’s got, got a hold on me
