can't get loose

what makes him stand and fight

when he only wants to love?

and why do they push so hard

when he only needs a shove?

everytime i see him give

it's his turn to take

everytime i see him go

everybody says to wait

can't get loose

you can fight like hell

but you can't get loose

you can dream

but you can't get loose

it's holdin' on

holdin' on

can't get loose

oh

no

no

what makes on man rich?

how's another man get so poor?

what make someone care so much

for things another man can just ignore?

some questions go unanswered

and they have for quite some time

something's forever sacred

we're just prisoners of our own mind

oh

can't get loose

we can fight like hell

but we can't get loose

we can dream

but we can't get loose

keeps it holdin' on

holdin' on

can't get loose

shake it

shake it

can't get loose

there she sits with stars in her eyes

but too afraid to dance

'cause every guy that she holds so close

just wants to get in her pants

oh yeah

can't get loose

can't get loose

can't get loose

can't get loose

tell me what keeps her by his side

when she's treated just like dirt

the fear of the dark unknown

appears to be much worse than the hurt

so she stays up nights and dreams

of a knight in shining armor

who will rescue her one day

while time keeps going against her

ooh

can't get loose

yeah you can fight like hell

but you can't get loose

you can dream

oh but you can't get loose

keeps on holdin' on

holdin' on

can't get loose

shake

shake

can't get loose

yeah just fight like hell

but you can't get loose

keeps on holdin' on

holdin' on

and you can't get loose

oh no no

i know you can't get loose

you can shake it

shake it

can't get loose

i know you fight like hell

but you can't get loose

yeah you can dream

ooh but you can't get loose

go on and fight like hell

but you can't get loose

shake

but you can't get loose

ooh
