Jump into that water and see for yourself,
Take a deep breath and hold it in, hold it in,
She's got a secret and she wants to tell,
But I made a promise to hold it in, hold it in,
Mabye I'm in love and mabye it's not to tell,
Only thing that I can do is hold it in, hold it in,
Was told that I'm a man now and I'm not allowed to cry,
Only thing that I can do is hold it in, hold it in,
Life is,
Oh my god if I tell him he'll tell her and then she will know I like her,
But good grief,
I don't think that I can take this heartbreak any longer,
I will not hold it in,
There's a couple with a baby and it's no secret why,
Neither one was able to hold it in, hold it in,
Kids in the streets, yeah, they're all gettin' high,
Everybodys screamin', hold it in, hold it in,
Life is,
Oh my god if I tell him he'll tell her and then she will know I like her,
But good grief,
I don't think that I can take this heartbreak any longer,
I will not hold it in,
_______________________________________________________________
If there's a god he's embarassed and it's no secret why,
Only thing that he can do is hold it in, hold it in,
So I've written him a letter to be sent out to sea,
I'm lookin' for a bottle to hold it in, hold it in,
Life is,
Oh my god if I tell him he'll tell her and then she will know I like her,
But good grief,
I don't think that I can take this heartbreak any longer,
I will not hold it in
