I don’t like you but I love you,
Seems that I’m always thinking of you,
Oh ho ho you treat me badly,
I love you madly,
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, I don’t want you, but I need you,
Don’t wanna to kiss you but I need to,
Oh ho ho you do me wrong now,
My love is strong now,
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 I love you and all I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
Tighter, tighter.
I wanna to leave you, don’t want to stay here,
Don’t want to spend another day here,
Oh ho ho, I wanna to split now,
I just can quit now,
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 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’ve really got a hold on me
You’ve really got a hold on me
You’ve really got a hold on me.
