"Don't Hold It In" lyrics - HERBIE HANCOCK

Went out to a disco
Couldn't believe my eyes
A woman who was so beautiful
That she was in disguise
I said, 'you should be dancing
You look so good to me'
'I'd love to' was his answer
'But what you get ain't what you see'

[Chorus:]
I said, don't hold it in
You let it out
Get loose and let it all hang out
Don't hold it in
You let it out
Get loose and let it all hang out
Don't hold it in
You let it out
Get loose and let it all hang out
Don't hold it in
You let it out
Get loose and let it all hang out

[Post-Chorus:]
Don't hold it in, hold it in
You can't keep on holding it in
Don't hold it in, hold it in
You can't keep on holding it in

Went down to the nightclub
The band was mighty slick
All I heard from the guitar
Was wakakawakakakik
I yelled, "how 'bout a solo, and turn it up real loud"
He said, "I'd hate to bother anybody in the crowd"

[Chorus:]
I said, don't hold it in
You let it out
Get loose and let it all hang out
Don't hold it in
You let it out
Get loose and let it all hang out
Don't hold it in
You let it out
Get loose and let it all hang out
Don't hold it in
You let it out
Get loose and let it all hang out

[Post-Chorus:]
Don't hold it in, hold it in
You can't keep on holding it in
Don't hold it in, hold it in
You can't keep on holding it in

[Bridge:]
Wanna see you rocking, wanna see you move and groove
Wanna see you rocking, ooh everybody move
Rock 'n roll
Good music gonna save your soul, na na, now
Can you feel it
It's for real
It's the music

Went to a party with some folks I met that night
The way the evening started, just knew I'd end up right
The conversation was polite and everyone was cool
Until they took their clothes off, and they all jumped in the pool!
So I finally went back home, I figured I've had enough
My baby asked me what I'd done, I said, "same old stuff"

[Chorus:]
She said, don't hold it in
You let it out
Get loose and let it all hang out
Don't hold it in
You let it out
Get loose and let it all hang out
Don't hold it in
You let it out
Get loose and let it all hang out
Don't hold it in
You let it out
Get loose and let it all hang out

[Post-Chorus:]
Don't hold it in, don't hold it in
You can't keep on holding it in
Don't hold it in, don't hold it in
You can't keep on holding it in

[Chorus:]
Don't hold it in
You let it out
Get loose and let it all hang out
Don't hold it in
You let it out
Get loose and let it all hang out
Don't hold it in
You let it out
Get loose and let it all hang out
Don't hold it in
You let it out
Get loose and let it all hang out

[Post-Chorus:]
Don't hold it in, don't hold it in
You can't keep on holding it in
Don't hold it in, don't hold it in
You can't keep on holding it in

[Chorus:]
Don't hold it in
You let it out
Get loose and let it all hang out
Don't hold it in
You let it out
Get loose and let it all hang out
Don't hold it in
You let it out
Get loose and let it all hang out
Don't hold it in
You let it out
Get loose and let it all hang out...
