Can't Hold Us Down Lyrics - Stripped - Christina Aguilera

H-m-m... 

H-m-m... 

Say what am I not supposed to have an opinion? 

Should I keep quiet just because I'm a woman? 

Call me a bitch cause I speak what's on my mind 

Guess it's easier for you to swallow if I sat and smiled 

(ooh...) When a female fires back 

(ooh-ooh-ooh...) Suddenly the target don't know how to act 

(ooh...) So he does what any little boy would do 

(ooh...) Makin' up a few false rumors or two 

(ooh...) That for sure is not a man to me 

(ooh...) It's slanderin' names for popularity

(ooh...) It's sad you only get your fame through controversy 

(it's so sad) 

(ooh...) But now it's time for me to come and give you more to say 

This is for my girls all around the world 

Around the world 

Who have come across a man that don't respect your worth 

Oh-oh ooh 

Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard 

Oh... oh 

What do we do girls? 

(shout louder) 

Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand our ground 

Stand our ground 

Lift your hands high and wave 'em proud 

Oh... ooh 

Take a deep breath and say it loud 

W-h-o-a 

Never can never will 

Can't hold us down 

Nobody can hold us down 

Nobody can hold us down 

Nobody can hold us down 

Never can never will 

So what am I not supposed to say what I'm saying? 

Are you offended with the message I'm bringin' 

Call me whatever 'cause your words don't mean a thing 

Guess you ain't even a man enough to handle what I sing 

(ooh...) If you look back in history 

(ooh-ooh-ooh...) It's a common double standard of society 

(ooh...)The guy gets all the glory the more he can score 

(ooh...) While the girl can do the same and yet you call her a whore 

(ooh...) I don't understand why it's ok 

(ooh...) The guy can get away with it the girl gets named 

(ooh...) All my ladies come together and make it change 

Start a new beginning for us everybody sang 

This is for my girls all around the world 

'Round the world (yeah) 

Who have come across a man that don't respect your worth 

Respect your worth 

Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard 

(can't get rid of us) 

What do we do girls? 

(shout louder) 

Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand our ground 

(we're standing our ground) 

So lift your hands high and wave 'em proud 

Oh-oh ooh 

Take a deep breath and say it loud 

Never can never will 

Can't hold us down (check) 

Here's something I just can't understand 

If the guy have three girls then he's the man 

He can even give her some head or sex her off 

But if a girl do the same she's a whore 

But the tables about to turn I bet my fame on it 

Cats take my ideas and put they name on it 

It's aight though you can't hold me down (hold me) 

I got to keep on moving 

To my girls to their man who be trying to mack 

Do it right back to him and let that be that 

You need to let him know that his game is whack 

And LiL' Kim and Christina Aguilera got yo back 

Your just a little boy think you're so cute so coy 

You must talk so big to make up for smaller things 

You're just a little boy all you do is annoy 

You must talk so big to make up for smaller things 

(This is for my girls) this is for my girls all around the world 

Oh-oh 

Who have come across a man that don't respect your worth 

Respect your worth 

Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard 

Oh-oh 

What do we do girls? 

(shout louder) Shout louder 

Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand our ground 

Stand our ground 

So lift your hands high and wave 'em proud 

Oh... oh ooh 

Take a deep breath and say it loud 

Never can never will 

Can't hold us down 

Oh-oh ooh 

This is for my girls around the world 

All my girls 

Who have come across a man who don't respect your worth 

Around the world 

Thinkin' all women should be seen not heard 

Y-e-a-h... 

What do we do girls? 

(shout louder) 

Lettin' 'em know we're gonna stand our ground 

Stand our ground 

Lift your hands high and wave 'em proud
