Holding Back The Years Lyrics


Ooh, yeah, ooh, ooh
Oh yeah, uh huhListen, holding back the years
Thinking about the fear I've had so long
Will somebody here listen
Listen to the fear that's goneStrangled by the wishes I begged for
Hoping for the unmade for
To get to me the sooner or later
Oh LordOoh, holding back the years
Chance for me to escape from all I know
And uh, holding back the tears yeah
'Cause nothing here is wrong, oh LordI've wasted all my tears, yeah
(Ain't no reason, no)
Wasted all those years
(Too many, too many, they just go by)
Nothing had the chance to be good, no, no
Nothing ever could, oh, noBut I'll keep holding on
(Gotta keep holding on)
I'll keep holding on

(Never let go no, no, no)
I'll keep holding on
(Gotta keep holding on)
I'll keep holding onTake your time, take your time
Suga', take your time, take your time
Take your time, take your time
Suga', take your time, take your timeOh, now I've wasted all my tears
Wasted all those, those lonely, lonely years
Nothing had the chance to be good
Nothing ever couldI'll keep holding on
(Gotta keep holding on)
I'll keep holding on
(Never let go no, no, no)
I'll keep holding on
(Gotta keep holding on)
I'll keep holding on
Oh, oh, oh, ohGotta just keep, keep
Keep holding on
No matter how tired
Gotta just keep, keep
Keep pressing onAs weary as it may seem
As weary as it may seem
As weary as it may seem
As weary as it may seemThink it's a love song
Pull back, pulsate
Gonna keep holding on
Never, never, never let go
Oh yeah, I'll keep holding on

Angie Stone (born Angela Laverne Brown in January 30, 1961, in Columbia, South Carolina) is a Grammy Award-nominated American R&B, hip-hop, and neo-soul singer and actress. Stone's music possesses a clear old school soul music influence, and her singing vocals recall those of Aretha Franklin.


In the early 1980s, Stone (as 'Angie B'), was a member of The Sequence, the first major female hip-hop group. They had a hit in 1980 with "Funk You Up". She then worked with Mantronix, before teaming up and performing vocals and saxophone for Lenny Kravitz.


Angie Stone emerged during the 1990's as part of hip-hop/R&B trio Vertical Hold which released the popular single "Seems You're Much Too Busy" as well as two albums: A Matter of Time (June 1993) and Head First (1995).

In 1996, she teamed up with Gerry DeVeaux (Lenny Kravitz's cousin from The Bahamas) and together with Charlie Mole they formed Devox. One album received a Japanese-only release including Stone-penned or co-written material.

Angie Stone shared song-writing credits on D'Angelo's first two studio album's (1995 - Brown Sugar and 2000 - Voodoo) as well as providing backing vocals on tour with him.

She released her first solo album, Black Diamond, released on 28 September 1999 via Arista Records. She has since also released, via Clive Davis' J Records, Mahogany Soul on October 16, 2001 and Stone Love on July 6, 2004.

Much of Angie Stone's solo material has a significant hip-hop influence and features notable samples. For example, her first solo single, 1999's "No More Rain (In This Cloud)" samples Gladys Knight & The Pips' 1972 "Neither One Of Us (Want To Be The First To Say Goodbye)", and 2002 "Wish I Didn't Miss You" samples The O'Jays' 1972 "Back Stabbers".

Angie Stone sings the theme song for the UPN sitcom Girlfriends.
She has two children, a daughter and a son. The son is the child of neo-soul singer D'Angelo, whom she dated during the 1990's.
