Hold Me Back by Oingo Boingo Lyrics

Genre: pop | Year: 1983

[Intro]
(Driving fast and ditching school)
(Breaking all their precious rules)

[Verse 1]
It's too hard to think clearly
I need a kick, I need a girl
So badly I could scream
I'm sick of watching people on T.V

[Verse 2]
I need the wind in my face
I need a car that's not a disgrace
I need a highway and a beer
And if I don't stop now, there's plenty to fear

[Chorus]
So, (Hold me back)
Oh, won't you hold me back
I could be violent any time
(Hold me back)
I feel another attack
Brewing deep inside
(Hold me back)
Oh, won't you hold me back
(Hold me back)
Oh, won't you hold me back
Hold me back
[Bridge]
(Teacher doesn't understand)
(Just how dangerous I am)

[Verse 3]
I need a break from the world
And more than ever, I need a girl
I need something I can taste
And a vacation from the human race

[Verse 4]
I need money, I need it bad
If I don't have it, I get mad
And when I'm mad, I do such terrible things
I get real crazy and I make girls scream

[Chorus]
So, (Hold me back)
Oh, won't you hold me back
I could be violent any time
(Hold me back)
I feel another attack
Brewing deep inside
(Hold me back)
Oh, won't you hold me back
(Hold me back)
Oh, won't you hold me back
Hold me back
Oh, won't you hold me back
[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]
(Hold me back)
Oh, won't you hold me back
I could be violent any time
(Hold me back)
I feel another attack
Brewing deep inside
(Hold me back)
Oh, won't you hold me back
(Hold me back)
Oh, won't you hold me back
Hold me back
