Lyrics

I don't like you, but I love you
Seems that I'm always thinkin' of you
Though you treat me badly
I love you madly
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)

Baby, I don't want you, but I need you
Don't wanna kiss you, but I need to
Though you do me wrong now
My love is strong now
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)

Baby, I love you, and all I want you to do is just
Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
(Ooh darlin', yeah) Tighter
(Tighter) Tighter

I wanna leave you, don't wanna stay here
Don't wanna spend another day here
Though I wanna split now
I can't quit now
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)

Baby, I love you, and all I want you to do is just
Hold me, (please), hold me, (squeeze), hold me, hold me

You've really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
I said, you've really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
I said, you've really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
You know, you really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
