You can be nervous, it's okay
You can be honest, it's alright
We can be sidekicks like it's '08
When I hold your hand like it's '09
Why you so fine, girl? It's no way
I can tell you must think I just wanna paint your face, Cirque du Soleil
And I know
She don't wanna fuck a rapper who sought after
And get treated like an afterthought, and didn't feel like a thought after
Like why'd I even do all that for?
What, you worried that you gon' fall for me?
And then I might just fall back, huh?
You say it ain't that, well, if it ain't that
I got a question and I'll ask you it like

Oh, why you tryna hold back?
Why you tryna hold back?
When you know you want it just like I do
Why you actin' like that?
Girl, don't do me like that
All I'm tryna do is be next to you
Why you tryna hold back?
Why you tryna hold back?
When you know you want it just like I do
Why you actin' like that?
Girl, don't do me like that
All I'm tryna do is be next to you

There's an invisible force
Pullin' you away from me, what's the source?
Is it my doin' or is it all yours?
At first, I thought you might just be shy, but I can't tell anymore
Perhaps your last man put you through hell
And you'd rather not go through hell anymore
But you don't need that shell anymore
Like a nap on the beach, you can rest assured
I'm not tryna get over on ya
Might be smart-mouth, but the rest is pure, tss
I'm in no rush for your reservoir
You know you reside in my mind rent-free
And I got one question for you, I'm wonderin'

Oh, why you tryna hold back?
Why you tryna hold back?
When you know you want it just like I do?
Why you actin' like that?
Girl, don't do me like that
All I'm tryna do is be next to you
Why you tryna hold back? (Why you tryna hold back?)
Why you tryna hold back
On me, baby? (Yeah)
All I want is (all I want is you)
You to stop holdin' back on me (na-na-na-na)

Turn me up, turn me up a lil bit
I been waitin' all day for you, can you hurry up a lil bit? (Damn)
Can you show me some love? I think I'm worthy of a lil bit
Kiss me, then you pull away just to work me up a lil bit
