Holding Back..by The Three Degrees
Written and composed by Tony Power

I’ve been holding back from you
Something that you never knew
Ive wanted to say so many times, that I love you.
Haven’t you noticed my smile?
And when I look into your eyes
Didn’t you feel, that something was happening between us
You excite me by all that you are.
You entice me with things that you say.
Id is a fool to let it slip way.

Chorus
I’ve been holding back from you
Ive been hlding back its true-hoo 
Ive been holding back from you 
Far too long

You are there in every dream
Youre a guiding star to me
But I need to know, that you feel the same way I do
I can feel there’s warmth when we touch
And I love being with you so much
But we need to be reading the same lines

I’ve been holding back from you
Ive been holding back it’s true
I’ve been holding back from you 
For too long
I’ve been holding back from you
I’ve been holding back it’s true
I’ve been holding back from you 
Far too long


Middle
Now I’ve told it all to you
Tell me what you going to do
Tell me those three word words 
That lovers need to hear

I’ve been holding back from you
Something that you never knew
I’ve wanted to say so many times, that I love you.
Haven’t you noticed my smile?
And when I look into your eyes
Didn’t you feel, that something was happening between us
You excite me by all that you are.
You entice me with things that you say.
Id is a fool to let it slip way.


I’ve been holding back from you
I’ve been holding back it’s true
I’ve been holding back from you
For too long


I’ve been holding back from you
I’ve been holding back it’s true
I’ve been holding back from you
Far too long

Holding back ad lib and fade
Holding back from you
Holding back it’s true
