I wanna make you smile for just one reason
Just to feel the joy of lifting your spirits
I don’t want to hold back, don’t want to hold you back
I want to see you happy, see your dreams come true
See you soar right over the big bright moon
I don’t want to hold back, don’t want to hold you back
Look up and feel my smile show, seeing you soar
Well you’re sweet and subtle and some kind of special
When our eyes meet I can feel my heart stumble
I don’t want to hold back, don’t want to hold you back
Well you taunt and tease and you smile when you say
“don’t make me wait too long,” with your endless beauty
I don’t want to hold back, don’t want to hold you back
Well I just thought that you should know, you’re making my heart soar
Working hours in the sun, I roll my eyes, you stick out your tongue
I make a scene, let loose from my feet
Roll around on the street, just to get you to see
I’m a fool, Stumbling like a buffoon
Wishing on the stars and the moon, for you
Well I’m plenty pretty and I’m pretty playful
But all jokes aside, I just gotta tell you
I don’t want to hold back, don’t want to hold you back
Just that I got your back
