Haven't you ever been in a fight. When you win, you hold your enemy down on the ground.
The image can be used: parents holding their children down; wives holding their husbands down.

It means that you are trying to keep the other person with you, no matter what they do.

hold someone down :
it means keep some one under strict control (here in your lyric means :I will not allow for you to do anything wrong because while you are trying to do anything wrong I will keep you under my control).
2- it means also to control or severly restrict the freedom of people :
e.x :the people are hold down by repressive military regime.
