The Ultimate Motown Collection

0

[Verse 1]
I don't like you, but I love you
Seems like I'm always, I'm thinking of you
Oh, oh, oh, you treat me badly, I love you madly
[Chorus]
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)
[Verse 2]
Baby, I don't want you, but I need you
Don't wanna kiss you, but I need to
Oh, oh, oh, you do me wrong now, my love is strong now
[Chorus]
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
Oh, you really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
[Bridge]
Baby, I love you and all I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
Ooh, tighter (Tighter)
[Verse 3]
I wanna leave you, don't wanna stay here
Don't wanna spend another day here
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna split now, I can't quit now
[Chorus]
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on mе)
Oh, you really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on mе)
[Outro]
Baby, I love you and all I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
Oh, oh (Hold me, hold me, hold me)
Oh, tighter, baby
Hold me, oh yeah, hold me (Tighter)
Put your arms around me in the dark night
Yes, put your arms around me in the brightest light
And just hold me, come on, baby
Hold me, yeah
Hold me
Come on, baby, come on, baby, hold me
