I've got that whiskey in the eye my love
You know I'm not afraid to fight
Cause word's been gettin' round this town
and I can't wait another night
NoI'm not trying to start a war
I'm just tired of being abused
You better kiss me when that sun dips down
you know that I still need your touch

Cause when he beats me down, I think you're gonna have to hold me back
When he hits the ground, I think you're gonna have to hold me back
When the words are found, I think you're gonna have to hold me back
You know I'm out for blood, I think you're gonna have to hold me back

He bit the pavement with his blood filled smile
I swore I'd practice what I preach
I staggered closer just to hold her hand
she ripped her fingers out of reach
I said that "I'm just trying to hold my own, what do you expect from me?" She yelled "just take me home and shut your mouth, you know that I can't take your touch" Cause when he beats me down, I think you're gonna have to hold me back

When he hits the ground, I think you're gonna have to hold me back
When the words are found, I think you're gonna have to hold me back
You know I'm out for blood, I think you're gonna have to hold me back

You're gonna hold me back,
You're gonna hold me back
You know I'm out for blood, I think you're gonna have to hold me back You're gonna hold me back, you're gonna hold
