Holding Back Lyrics

No
Love is holding back
I know I've done you wrong
Did I say too much?
Drown my sorrows, called you up
When the truth is tough
Honesty may not be enough

'Cause love is holding back
I know I've done you wrong

Believe me, I'm alright
I'll see you in the morning
And loving is holding back
And I have been in mourning

Have I told you that I seen a light?
You know I'm pushy 'cause I go too far
Something 'bout what you said in the morning
Never gave me a warning, ah
And while you walking free
I stay in the middle unaccompanied
Listen, you were little, won't you come and see?
I wrote you a melody, can't you see
That it's you I love and, babe, I know
You won't admit it but we're something, baby
All I wanna do is get you loved and laid
I wrote you a melody, can't you see that?

Holding back
I know I've done you wrong
Did I say too much?
Believe me, I'm alright
I'll see you in the morning
And loving is holding back
And I have been in mourning

I remember when you locked us out
We had to climb in through the window how
Lifting me up, was on the second floor and
I always love that story

And when you talk to me
You don't think I listen, but I do, you see
Words are never bitter 'cause your voice so sweet
Your voice is like melody, can't you see that?
Baby, don't be afraid
Not every conversation is a new grenade
All I wanna do is get you loved and laid
I wrote you a melody, can't you see that?

Holding back
I know I've done you wrong
Did I say too much?
Believe me, I'm alright
I'll see you in the morning
And loving is holding back
And I have been in mourning

Anything, I want you more than
All-time, I want you more than
Moonlight, I want you more than
Sunshine, I want you more than
Water, I want you more than
High tides, so don't you say that
Our time is up
And our time ain't up, oh ooh-ooh-ooh

'Cause I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you (want you)
Give me love, give me love, give me love, give me love, give me love, yeah
Want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you
Give me love, give me love, give me love, give me love, give me love, yeah
Give me love, yeah

Love is holding back
I know I've done you wrong
Believe me, I'm alright
I'll see you in the morning
And loving is holding back
And I have been in mourning

Love is holding back
I know I've done you wrong
Believe me, I'm alright
I'll see you in the morning
(Babe, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you)
And loving is holding back
And I have been in mourning
