Hold You Back - Status Quo

When you don’t know the score

Do you think that you can make it When you don’t need any 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, and 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 asking 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 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
