Hold Back

(앨범: Dirty Work - 1986)

Hear the voice of experience
A word from the wise
Grab opportunity, yes
While you're alive

'Cause if you follow the crowd
'Cause if you act like a coward
You'll end up yelling out loud

Hold back
You'll regret it someday
Choke on that
Don't let it pass you by
Hold back
You better seize the hour

If you look in your history book
If you delve in the past
Stalin and Roosevelt, yeah
They both took their chances

And George grasped the nettle
It's do or dare
From the banks of the Delaware

Yeah, don't hold back
Trust your gut reaction
Be bold, be bold, baby

Mmm, if you don't take chances
You won't make advances
Hold back, yeah

Don't matter if you ain't so good looking
If you ain't sharp as a blade
Nah, don't be afraid
Don't hold back
Life is passing you by

Choke on that
Keep on moving, keep on moving, yeah
Yes, you run with the crowd, yeah
You will end up in the madhouse shouting those cold walls down
Ya, don't hold back

Hold back, you're messing with your life
Hold back
Yeah, life goes by fast sometimes
Be bold, be bold, be bold, be bold baby
You're wasting your time

I want your attention, so pin back your ears
I've been climbing this tree of promises for over forty years
Your vision get broken
And bust on the ground
So watch me, watch me rebound

Yeah, don't hold back, you wrecking your life
Choke on that. Yeah!
Don't hold back
You're messing with your life
