"Holding Back" lyrics - BANKS

[Intro:]
Oh, love, love is holding back
I know I've done you wrong
Did I say too much?
Drowned my sorrows, called you up
When the truth is tough
Honesty may not be enough

[Chorus:]
'Cause love is holding back
I know I've done you wrong
Leave me, I'm alright
I'll see you in the morning
And lovin' is holding back
And I have been in mourning

Never told you that I seen the light
You know I push it '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
Missin' you a little, won't you come and see?
I wrote you a melody, can't you see that?
It's you I'm lovin', babe
I know you won't admit it, but we're something, babe
All I wanna do is get you loved and laid
I wrote you a melody, can't you see that?

[Chorus:]
Love is holding back
I know I've done you wrong
Did I say too much?
Leave me, I'm alright
I'll see you in the morning
And lovin' 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
Lifted me up, was on the second floor and
I always loved that story
And while 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 a 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?

[Chorus:]
Love is holding back
I know I've done you wrong
Did I say too much?
Leave me, I'm alright
I'll see you in the morning
And lovin' is holding back
And I have been in mourning

[Bridge:]
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
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
(I want you)
Give me love, give me love, give me love
Give me love, give me love, yeah
I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you
(Want you, want you, want you, want you, want you)
Give me love, give me love, give me love, give me love, yeah
(Give me love, yeah)

[Chorus:]
Love is holding back
I know I've done you wrong over and over
Leave me, I'm alright
I'll see you in the morning
And lovin' is holding back
And I have been in mourning
Love is holding back
I know I've done you wrong (Oh-na-na, na-na-na-na)
Leave me, I'm alright
I'll see you in the morning
(Baby, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you)
And lovin' is holding back
And I have been in mourning
