Don't Hold The Wall

Justin Timberlake · The 20/20 Experience [2013]

Dance, don't hold the wall

Dance, don't, don't, don't hold the wall

Dance, dance, don't hold the wall

Da-da-dance, don't hold the wall



C'mon, throw them legs,

Was getting down but I'm fed up,

Cause I heard you tell your girlfriends "I deserve better"

Well, I think you look better

But you're so far, I had to go get ya



Take you to the light,

It's dark in the back

You started moving,

You put an arch in your back

Closer to me, closer to me

Sippin' your drink,

And you're getting closer to me

Dance in the light,

Slide in your seat,

You started moving,

You're getting closer to me

Why you on me, then let me go?



So baby hold up

Dance, don't hold the wall

Let it go,

Dance, don't, don't, don't hold the wall

Baby hold up,

Dance, don't hold the wall

Let it go,

Dance, don't hold the wall



Dance

Dance, don't, don't, don't hold the wall

Dance, dance

Da-da-dance, don't hold the wall



Dance, don't hold the wall

Da-da-dance, don't hold the wall



I think I heard what you said

He's not what you thought and you're fed up

I heard your girlfriend tell you, you could do better,

Well, I'm the best ever

But you're so far, I had to come get ya



Take you to the light,

It's dark in the back

You started moving,

You put an arch in your back

Closer to me, closer to me

Sippin' your drink,

And you're getting closer to me

Dance in the light,

Slide in your seat,

You started moving,

You're getting closer to me

Why you on me, then let me go?



So baby hold up

Dance, don't hold the wall

Let it go,

Dance, don't, don't, don't hold the wall

Baby hold up,

Dance, don't hold the wall

Let it go,

Dance, don't hold the wall



Dance

Dance, don't, don't, don't hold the wall

Dance, dance

Da-da-dance



Dance, don't hold the wall

Dance, don't hold the wall



Baby hold up

Dance, don't hold the wall

Let it go,

Dance, don't, don't, don't hold the wall

Baby hold up,

Dance, don't hold the wall

Let it go,

Dance, don't hold the wall



Dance

Dance, don't, don't, don't hold the wall

Dance, dance

Da-da-dance, don't hold the wall



Come on the floor and dance,

Let's get it down, come on get up

Come on the floor and dance,

Let's get it down, come on get up



Come on and dance

Come on baby dance with me

Take my hand,

Get on the floor

Come on baby dance with me

Please don't hold the wall

Please don't hold the wall tonight

We're gonna do it all,

So please don't hold the wall tonight
