MARQUES HOUSTON LYRICS - Hold N' Back

"Hold N' Back"

(feat. Mya, Shawnna)



[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
