The Rolling Stones - Hold Back lyrics
[The Rolling Stones - Hold Back lyrics]
Hear the voice of experience
A word from the wise
Grab opportunity, yes, while you're alive
Because if you follow the crowd
Because 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 mettle
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 aren’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
Yeah, don't hold back
Ah 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
It bust on the ground
So watch me, watch me rebound
Yeah, don't hold back
You're wrecking your life
Choke on that, yeah don't hold back
You're messing with your life
A word from the wise
Grab opportunity, yes, while you're alive
Because if you follow the crowd
Because 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 mettle
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 aren’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
Yeah, don't hold back
Ah 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
It bust on the ground
So watch me, watch me rebound
Yeah, don't hold back
You're wrecking your life
Choke on that, yeah don't hold back
You're messing with your life
