[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

[Verse 1]

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, babе

All I wanna do is get you loved and laid

I wrote you a mеlody, 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

[Verse 2]

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
