You've Really Got a Hold on Me Lyrics
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'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 want to kiss you
But I need to
Though 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, baby
I love you
And all I want you to do is
Just hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Tighter
Tighter
I want to leave you
Don't want to stay here
Don't want to spend another day here
Though I want to split now
I can't quit now
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
Please
Hold me
Squeeze
Hold me
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me
I said you've really got a hold on me
You know, you've really got a hold on me

I Second That Emotion
This song cheers me up when I'm feeling sad and makes me sad when I'm feeling happy. It's weird.
Really, I find it plays to my mood. When I'm happy I find the good things in it, when I'm down the meaning suddenly flips and it gets me more down. That's partially why I love this song.

I love this song so much.
This song is very self explanatory. Girl does not want guy, but can't leave him cause she's in love with the bad guy.
My opinion, tainted of course by my own experiences, is that this song is about a dysfunctional relationship that is hard to leave. You love me badly, you treat me wrong, I want to quit you... but I can't. It's unhealthy, it makes no sense - but my love is still strong, and all I want you to do is hold me.
