Rod Stewart - No Holding Back lyrics

(R. Stewart, J. Creagan, K. Savigar)

A friend of mine called up said "I finally had some luck

Could I have a minute of your time

I met a girl last night and try as I might

I can't get her off of my mind

She walked through the room and right then I knew

I finally found somebody for me

But to tell you the truth I don't know what to do

should I go ahead or wait and see"

I said "Give it all you got no holding back

Let a light in your soul

Ain't it better to lose in love than to never love at all

than to never love at all"

Now I'm the kind of guy who's normally quite shy

On romance I don't know a thing

But when she led me to the floor I'd never danced before

Suddenly my feet had wings

I know that she wants me I want her too

but I'm so confused I can't think straight

I feel so alive but on the other side

should I go ahead or should I wait

I said "Give it all you got no holding back

Let a light in your soul

Ain't it better to lose in love than to never love at all

Ain't it better to lose in love than to never love at all

than to never love at all"

So when the music starts to flow from your hearts

like the coming of an early spring

when the river starts to flow between you soul to soul

may no man ever come between

Die in her arms if she wants you to

Be thankful for each passing day

When your eyes collide let your spirits fly

and pray to God it's here to stay

And I said "Give it all you got no holding back

Let a light in your soul

Ain't it better to lose in love than to never love at all"

Give it all you got no holding back

Let a light in your soul

Ain't it better to lose in love than to never love at all

than to never love at all

than to never, never love at all

Ain't it better to lose in love than never love at all
