Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't like you
But I love you
Seems that I'm always
Thinking of you
[Verse 2]
Oh, oh, oh
You treat me badly
I love you madly
[Verse 3]
You've really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
[Verse 4]
Baby
I don't want you
But I need you
Don't want to kiss you
But I need to
[Verse 5]
Oh, oh, oh
You do me wrong now
My love is strong now
[Verse 6]
You've really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
[Verse 7]
Baby
I love you and all that I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
[Verse 8]
Tighter
Tighter
[Verse 9]
I want to leave you
Don't want to stay here
Don't want to spend
Another day here
[Verse 10]
Oh, oh, oh
I want to split now
I just can't quit now
You've really got a hold on me
[Verse 11]
(You really got a hold on me)
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
[Verse 12]
Baby
I love you and all that I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
[Verse 13]
You've really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
You've really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
