Don’t Hold the Wall Lyrics
[Intro: Justin Timberlake]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
La-la-la
Ooh-ooh-ooh
La-la-la
[Chorus: Timbaland]
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
[Verse 1: Justin Timberlake]
Come on the floor with them legs
It's gettin' down but I'll get up
'Cause I heard you tell your girlfriend
That "I deserve better"
Well, I think you look better
But you're so far, I had to go get ya
[Pre-Chorus: Justin Timberlake]
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 gettin' closer to me
Dance in the light, startin' to see
You started moving, you're gettin' closer to me
And now, you won't even let me go
Ooh-ooh-ooh
La-la-la
Ooh-ooh-ooh
La-la-la
[Chorus: Timbaland]
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
[Verse 1: Justin Timberlake]
Come on the floor with them legs
It's gettin' down but I'll get up
'Cause I heard you tell your girlfriend
That "I deserve better"
Well, I think you look better
But you're so far, I had to go get ya
[Pre-Chorus: Justin Timberlake]
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 gettin' closer to me
Dance in the light, startin' to see
You started moving, you're gettin' closer to me
And now, you won't even let me go
[Chorus: Justin Timberlake, Timbaland & Both]
So baby, hold on

What did Justin Timberlake say about "Don't Hold the Wall"?
Genius Answer
“Don’t Hold the Wall is a dance record. And it’s about that moment, trying to get that girl on the dance floor. And um, it’s kind of the antithesis of Marvin Gaye’s ‘Got to Give It Up’ because that song, if you get the lyrics on that, it really is about how shy he was and how he didn’t want to get on the dance floor. But some record came on, and it got him… it’s about gaining that confidence, and this is about being in the middle and seeing this girl off to the side and saying, you know, come out and dance with me. It’s kind of innocent in that way as well.”
