Careful Paroles

i'm trying to hold back just enough
invite you in but then keep you waiting
'til i can sort out just what to say
careful not to give it away

you're waiting for my next move
if only you knew that i don't have one
cuz it's give and take
it's a game
and i think it's your turn
or is it mine?
is it mine?

i'm trying to hold back just enough
invite you in but then keep you waiting
'til i get a clue that i'm doing okay
careful not to give it away

i'm a little nervous i'm trying to hold back just enough
invite you in but then hesitate
i wish i could say just what i mean
but i'm careful not to scare you
i'm trying to but it's not really working
trying to hold back
careful not to scare you
careful not to give it away
