Please Don't Hold Back Lyrics

40-watt bulb fills half the room and then the other half is filled with gloom Fontella Bass is on the stereo I wish someone would come along and rescue me please don't hold back there's nothing missing there's nothing you lack please don't hold back there's just a few things that you can't forget and then you stub them out like your cigarette shape yourself until you think it's right and then you're still afraid to go out at night late at night when the city sleeps villains laugh and lovers weep eyes sealed shut and we don't let on that we're counting every second until the dawn
