Hold N' Back

(album: Veteran - 2007)

[Intro (Shawnna)]
Why you treat me like you do?
Can it just be me and you?
'cause I don't wanna play no more
If I let go, you let go
'cause I just can't get enough
And I just wanna feel you touch
But I just gotta know what's up, what's up, what's up

[Verse 1 (Marques Houston)]
Hey girl come here sit down
Let me holla at you a while
Gotta get this off my chest
Hope that you can handle it
We've been seeing each other a lot
Honestly I don't want it to stop
You and me; me and you
I'm liking what we've got
Only thing thats bothering me
We ain't as close as we should be
That's 'cause you're holding back
Holding back your love for me
How do you expect to grow if you just don't let go?

[Chorus (Marques Houston):]
Why you tryna hold back
Why you tryna hold back
When you know you want it just like I do
Why you acting like that, girl don't do me like that
All I'm tryna do is be next to you
Why you tryna hold back
Why you tryna hold back on me baby
All I want is you stop holding back on me

[Verse 2 (Mya)]
Don't take offense to this
Not tryna start no mess
Ain't tryna have you stressed
This is just a little test
I wanna see how serious
Serious you are of us
Do you like or like me not
I'm loving what we've got
Only thing that bothers me
We ain't close as we should be
That's 'cause you're holding back
Holding back you love for me
How do expect this thing to grow
If you don't let it go go go go

[Chorus (Mya and Marques Houston):]
Babe
Why you tryna hold back
Why you tryna hold back
When you know you want it just like I do
Why you acting like that, girl don't do me like that
All I'm tryna do is be next to you
Why you tryna hold back
Why you tryna hold back on me baby
All I want is you stop holding back on me

[Verse 3 (Shawnna)]
Everytime I get to thinking about you
I see I can't be without you
'cause you that shit, that's it
And I really can't leave rite now boo
I need my fix, your kiss
Made me about to let go bout to
But wait right quick can't slip
I don't really think your down with this
See I played these games before
And I fall everytime we go
'cause see I can't no more
I move slow but don't really wanna stop the flow
Don't know what to do
Gotta just relax and hold back
Just sit back and roll that, roll that, roll that

[Chorus (Mya and Marques Houston)]
Babe
Why you tryna hold back
Why you tryna hold back
When you know you want it just like I do
What you acting like that, girl don't do me like that
All I'm tryna do is be next to you
Why you tryna hold back
Why you tryna hold back on me baby
All I want is you stop holding back on me

[Outro (Shawnna)]
Why you treat me like you do?
Can it just be me and you?
'cause I just can't get enough
And I just wanna feel you touch
What's up what's up
Why you treat me like you do?
Can it just be me and you?
'cause I just can't get enough
And I just wanna feel you touch
I just gotta know what's up, what's up, what's up
