Banks - Holding Back

[Intro]
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

[Chorus]
'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'

[Verse 1]
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?

[Chorus]
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'

[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 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?

[Chorus]
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'

[Bridge]
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)

[Chorus]
Love is holdin' back, yeah
I know I've done you wrong
(Over and over)
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'
