Lyrics for Hold Back
Hear the voice of experience A word from the wise Grab opportunity, yes, while you're alive 'Cause if you follow the crowd 'Cause if you act like a coward You'll end up yelling out loud Hold back You'll regret it someday Choke on that Don't let it pass you by Hold back You better seize the hour If you look in your history book If you delve in the past Stalin and Roosevelt, yeah, they both took their chances And George grasped the mettle It's do or dare From the banks of the Delaware Yeah, don't hold back Trust your gut reaction Be bold, be bold, baby Mmm, if you don't take chances, you won't make advances Hold back, yeah Don't matter if you ain't so good-looking If you ain't sharp as a blade Nah, don't be afraid Don't hold back Life is passing you by Choke on that Keep on moving, keep on moving, yeah Yes, you run with the crowd, yeah You will end up in the madhouse Shouting those cold walls down Yeah, don't hold back Ah, hold back, you're messing with your life Hold back Yeah, life goes by fast sometimes Be bold, be bold, be bold, be bold, baby You're wasting your time I want your attention So pin back your ears I've been climbing this tree of promises For over 40 years Your vision get broken It bust on the ground So watch me, watch me rebound Yeah, don't hold back You're wrecking your life Choke on that, yeah Don't hold back You're messing with your life
