I've seen you, all skin and bone
Your eyes are gray as stone
Your heart is good as gold
And you think nothing cold

I've listened to you
When you go out
You sing and shout
You say alright and that's alright
Sugar sweet

Come and see just what's outside
Who's told the truth and who has lied
Take you in, into their arms

Hold you back and hold you down
Hold you back and hold you down
Sugar, sugar sweet
Sugar, sugar sweet

You say words that don't mean a thing
But this world turns with the touches you bring
Take it in, into your hands
Throw it back and throw it down

Money maker always rattles his shaker
If there's a giver he's always a taker
Take you in, into his arms
And hold you back

Sugar, sugar sweet
Sugar, sugar sweet

Don't hold it back
(Hold it back)
Don't hold it back
(Hold you back)

Don't hold it back
(Hold you back)
Don't hold it back
(Hold you back)

(Sugar, sugar sweet)
Don't hold it back
Don't hold it back
Don't hold it back
Don't hold it back

(Sugar, sugar sweet)
Don't hold it back
Don't hold it back
Don't hold it back
Don't hold it back

(Sugar, sugar sweet)
Don't hold it back
Don't hold it back
Don't hold it back
Don't hold it back

(Sugar, sugar sweet)
Don't hold it back
Don't hold it back
Don't hold it back
Don't hold it back
