Hold Me Lyrics

can you understand me
baby don't you hand me a line
although it doesn't matter
you and me got plenty of time

there's nobody in the future
so baby let me hand you my love
oh, there's no step for you to dance to
so slip your hand inside of my glove

CHORUS:
hold me....hold me....hold me
hold me....hold me....hold me

i don't want no damage
but how'm i gonna manage with you
you hold the percentage
but i'm the fool payin' the dues

i'm just around the corner
if you got a minute to spare
i'll be waitin' for ya'
if you ever want to be there

(repeat chorus)

Lyrics aren't that good, but the music is.

The music is beautiful and the lyrics are so sweet and romantic. Now what is the deal with the MEMBERS? They married and divorced each other. W:OW

This isn't an interpretation, but a story about where this song takes me.

I was 10 when Hold Me was released as a single in the US. So the literal meaning was completely lost on me at the time. But in the summer of 1982 my family was on a road trip cross-country from Virginia to Colorado. And EVERY radio station from Richmond to Denver had "Hold Me" in heavy rotation. So I heard the song about a hundred times in the four-day drive out and subsequent four-day drive home a week later.

Therefore, the imagery my brain calls up from the archives every time I hear this song is the scenery along I-64 and I-70, and the four of us crammed into the cab of a blue and silver 1979 GMC Sierra pickup.

Ha ha, nobody hears the snap of the whip and the yelp in each chorus? Adds an extra dimension to their relationship.

I was watching an old episode of "Knight Rider" the other night and I noticed they slipped this song into the show... performed by a cover artist no less!

Knight Rider was infamous for that. Plenty of episodes featured popular songs of the time performed by cover artists so they didn't have to pay the royalties for the "real" version. It was cheesy, which just added to the overall cheesiness and charm of the show.

Oh gosh I love this song! I remember the video...i thought the horse was cool when i was younger. Never really understood the video, but the song is pretty self-explanitory.
