Status Quo - Hold You Back lyrics

( rossi / young / parfitt ) How d'you know the music When you don't know the score Do you think that you can make it When you don't need no more Is it really the reason When it is not a need Are you trying hard to write it Before you can read Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down Slow you down, you've gotta try Does the clock that you're watching Ever tell you 'bout the time Does the song that you're singing Sound to you like a rhyme Will there be an answer When you stop askin why Or because of the jigsaw that makes up a lie Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down Slow you down, you've gotta try How d'you know the music When you don't know the score Do you think that you can make it When you don't need no more Is it really the reason When it is not a need Are you trying hard to write it Before you can read Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down Slow you down, you've gotta try Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down Hold you back, hold you back, slow you down Slow you down Hold you back hold you back slow you down
