Rolling Stones

Hear the voice of experience
A word from the wise
Grab opportunity
While youre alive
Cos if you follow the crowd
Cos if you act like a coward
Youll end up yelling out loud
Hold back
Youll regret it someday
Choke on that
Dont let it pass you by
Hold back
You better seize the hour
You look in your history books
You delve in the past
Stalin and Roosevelt
Both took their chances
And George grasped the nettle
Its do or dare
From the banks of the Delaware
Yeah dont hold back
Trust your gut reaction
Be bold, be bold baby
If you dont take chances
You wont make advances
Hold back yeah
Dont matter if you aint so good looking
If you aint sharp as a blade
Dont be afraid
Dont hold back
Life is passing you by
Choke on that
Keep on moving, keep on moving
Gotta run with the crowd
Youll end up in the madhouse
Shouting the cold walls down
Yeah dont hold back
Hold back
Youre messing with your life
Hold back
Yeah life goes by fast sometimes
Be bold be bold be bold be bold baby
Youre wasting your time
I want your attention
So pin back your ears
Ive 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 dont hold back
Youre wrecking your life
Choke on that
Dont hold back
No dont hold back
Youre messing with your life
[ Hold Back Lyrics ]
