Oh, love, love is holdin′ 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 holdin' back

I know I've done you wrong (love)

Leave me, I′m alright

I′ll see you in the mornin'

And lovin′ is holdin' back

And I have been in mournin′

Never told you that I seen the light

You know I push it 'cause I go too far

Somethin′ 'bout what you said in the mornin'

Never gave me a warnin′

And while you walkin′ 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?

′Cause, oh, our lovin', babe

I know you won′t admit it, but we're somethin', babe

All I want to do is get you loved and laid

I wrote you a melody, can′t you see that?

Love is holdin′ back

I know I've done you wrong

Did I say too much? (Love)

Leave me, I′m alright

I'll see you in the mornin′

And lovin' is holdin′ back

And I have been in mournin'

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 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 want to do is get you loved and laid

I wrote you a melody, can′t you see that?

Love is holdin' back

I know I′ve done you wrong

Did I say too much? (Love)

Leave me, I'm alright

I′ll see you in the mornin'

And lovin' is holdin′ back

And I have been in mournin′

Anythin'

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-oh-oh-oh

′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, give me love, yeah (give me love, yeah)

Love is holdin' back, yeah

I know I′ve done you wrong

(Over and over) (love)

Leave me, I'm alright

I'll see you in the mornin′

And lovin′ is holdin' back

And I have been in mournin′

Love is holdin' back, yeah

I know I′ve done you wrong (oh, na-na-na-na-na-na)

Leave me, I'm alright (oh, na-na-na-na-na-na)

I′ll see you in the mornin' (oh, na-na-na-na-na-na)

(Baby, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you)

And lovin' is holdin′ back

And I have been in mournin′
