I don't like you but I love you
Seems that I'm always thinking of you
Oh, oh, you treat me badly
I love you madly
You really got a hold on me, yeah
You really got a hold on me, baby, yeah
I don't want you but I need you
I don't want to kiss you but I need to, oh, oh
You do me wrong now
My love is strong now
You really got a hold on me, oh
You really got a hold on me, baby, yeah
I love you and all I want you to do is just
Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
I want to leave you
Don't want to stay here
I don't want to spend
Just one more day here
Oh, oh, I want to split now
I just can't quit now
You really got a hold on me, yeah
You got a hold on me
Baby, yeah, yeah, yeah-eah-eah
I don't want to kiss you
But I need to
Oh, oh, you do me wrong now
My love is strong now
You really got a hold on me, oh
You really got a hold on me
Baby, yeah
I love you and all I want you to do is just
Hold me, hold me, hold me
You really got a hold on me, oh
You really got a hold on me, ah
You really got a hold on me, oh
You really got a hold on me
You got me
You got a hold on me
Yes you have
You got a hold on me, ah
You really got a hold on me
Hey, you got a hold on me
