Banks – Holding Back Lyrics

 

Holding Back Lyrics by Banks

 

No, love
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 ain’t really moaning

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?

Love is 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 ain’t really moaning

I remember when you locked us out
We had to climb in through the window how
Lifted 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 new grenade
All I wanna do is get you loved and laid
I wrote you a melody, can’t you see that?

Love is 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 really moaning

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

‘Cause I 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
I 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
Give me love, yeah

Love is holding back (No love)
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 really moaning

Love is holding back (Love)
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 really moaning
