Hold It Against Me Lyrics

Hey, over there.
Please forgive me,
If I'm coming on too strong.

Hate to stare
But you're winning,
And they're playing my favorite song.

So come in, little closer,
Wanna whisper in your ear.
Say it clear, little question,
Wanna know how you just feel.

If I said my heart was beating loud,
If we could escape the crowd somehow,
If I said I want your body now...
Would you hold it against me?

'Cause you feel like paradise,
And I need a vacation tonight,
So if I said I want your body now...
Would you hold it against me?

Hey, you might think,
That I'm crazy,
But you know I'm just your type.
I might be a little hazy,
But you just cannot deny...

There's a spark inbetween us,
When we're dancin' on the floor.
I want more, I wanna see it,
So I'm askin' you tonight...

If I said my heart was beating loud,
If we could escape the crowd somehow,
If I said I want your body now...
Would you hold it against me?

'Cause you feel like paradise,
And I need a vacation tonight,
So if I said I want your body now...
Would you hold it against me?

If I said I want your body...
Would you hold it against me?

Aaah.
Yeah.
Muah.
Aaah.
Uh-huuh.
Owww.

Give me something good,
Don't wanna wait,
I want it now. (no-no-no-NOW)
Pop it like a hood
And show me how you work it out.

Alright.

If I said my heart was beating loud.
If I said I want your body now.
Would you hold it against me.

If I said my heart was beating loud,
If we could escape the crowd somehow,
If I said I want your body now...
Would you hold it against me?

'Cause you feel like paradise,
And I need a vacation tonight,
So if I said I want your body now...
Would you hold it against me?

If I said my heart was beating loud, If we could escape the crowd somehow, If I said I want your body now... Would you hold it against me?

The best part of this song, without a doubt!

Cover art for Hold It Against Me lyrics by Britney Spears

I wish Britney would record more songs like this. IMHO, her voice is better suited to dance/trance than dance/hip-hop.

I also believe this song is about a girl who goes out clubbing to escape her daily life and finds a guy she's sexually attracted too and wants to know if the guy she wants would think less of her if she said she wanted a one-night-stand up-front. Uncertainty concerning past morals vs. modern trends.

My Interpretation

No shit you fucking ignorant Moaist Pig!

One thing puzzles me about the title line in the chorus. Does she mean "would you hold it against me" as in:

  • the guy thinking less of her if they had a one night stand

or

  • the guy literally holding his body against hers...?

I'm guessing the former, but still clarification would be great!

Song Meaning

Isn't it obvious it's about a one night stand. Ick.

Not Valid

Both of those meanings are intended. Double meanings are often used to hide a more obscene meaning inside a clean one.

"pop it like a hood" my friend said is she talking about her cherry? i said yes, but if im wrong i would like to know

How many can get into bars and are still virgins? Good luck on that quest;) The song is by Britney Spears; I can't imagine being turned on by anything she sings...

When she says "Hold it Against Me", it means two things; It's referring to a physical contact, but it's also referring to when someone "holds a bad thing against you."

This is one of my favorite songs. I have always thought she said "crowds of hell" instead of "crowd somehow" since 2011 until I saw the lyrics for the first time yesterday.
