The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't like you but I love you
Seems that I'm always thinking of you
Though you treat me badly
I love you madly
You 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)
Baby, I don't want you but I need you
Don't want to kiss you but I need to
Though you do me wrong now
My love is strong now
You 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)
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
Don't want to spend, another day here oh
I want to split now
I can't quit now
You 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)
I love you
And all I want you to do is just
Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
You really got a hold on me (you really got a hold on me)
I said, "you 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)
Babe, you got really tired of hold on me (really got a hold on me)
Really got a hold on me
