Hold Back Lyrics - The Rolling Stones

1 Hear the voice of experience

2 A word from the wise

3 Grab opportunity

4 While you're alive

5 'Cos if you follow the crowd

6 'Cos if you act like a coward

7 You'll end up yelling out loud

8 Hold back

9 You'll regret it someday

10 Choke on that

11 Don't let it pass you by

12 Hold back

13 You better seize the hour

14 You look in your history books

15 If you delve in the past

16 Stalin and Roosevelt, yeah

17 Both took their chances

18 And George grasped the nettle

19 It's do or dare

20 From the banks of the Delaware

21 Yeah, don't hold back

22 Trust your gut reaction

23 Be bold, be bold, baby

24 If you don't take chances

25 You won't make advances

26 Hold back, yeah

27 Don't matter if you ain't so good looking

28 If you ain't sharp as a blade

29 Don't be afraid

30 Don't hold back

31 Life is passing you by

32 Choke on that

33 Keep on moving, keep on moving

34 Gotta run with the crowd, yeah

35 You'll end up in the madhouse

36 Shouting the cold walls down

37 Yeah, don't hold back

38 Hold back

39 You're messing with your life

40 Hold back

41 Yeah, life goes by fast sometimes

42 Be bold, be bold, be bold, be bold, baby

43 You're wasting your time

44 I want your attention

45 So pin back your ears

46 I've been climbing this tree of promises

47 For over forty years

48 Your vision get broken

49 And bust on the ground

50 So watch me, watch me rebound

51 Yeah, don't hold back

52 You're wrecking your life

53 Choke on that

54 Don't hold back

55 No don't hold back

56 You're messing with your life
