Oh yeah, I’ll tell you something
I think you’ll understand,
When I’ll say that something
I wanna hold your hand,
I wanna hold your hand,
I wanna hold your hand.

Oh please say to me
You’ll let me be your man,
And please say to me
You’ll let me hold your hand,
Now let me hold your hand,
I wanna hold your hand.

And when I touch you 
I feel happy inside,
It’s such a feeling
That my love I can’t hide,
I can’t hide I can’t hide.

Yeah, you got that something,
I think you’ll understand
When I’ll say that something,
I wanna hold your hand,
I wanna hold your hand,
I wanna hold your hand.

And when I touch you
I feel happy inside,
It’s such a feeling
That my love I can’t hide,
I can’t hide I can’t hide.

Yeah, you got that something,
I think you’ll understand,
When I feel that something
I wanna hold your hand,
I wanna hold your hand,
I wanna hold your hand,
I wanna hold your hand…
