Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I don't like you, but I love you
Seems that I'm always thinkin' of you
Though, oh, oh, you treat me badly
I love you madly
[Chorus]
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me
Baby
[Verse 2]
I don't want you, but I need you
Don't wanna kiss you, but I need to
Though, oh, oh, you do me wrong, now
My love is strong now
[Chorus]
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me
Baby
[Refrain]
I love you and all I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
[Bridge]
Tighter
Tighter
[Verse 3]
I wanna leave you, don't wanna stay here
Don't wanna spend another day here
Though, oh, oh, I wanna split now
I can't quit now
[Chorus]
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me
Baby
[Verse 4]
I love you, and all I want you to do is just
Hold me, hold me, hold me
Please, squeeze, hold me
Hold me
[Chorus]
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me
I said, you've really got a hold on me
I said, you've really got a hold on me
You know you've really got a hold on me
You know you've really got a hold on me
You know you've really got
