Lyrics for Holding Back

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
