You Really Got a Hold on Me (Smokey Robinson cover) Lyrics

I don't like you but I love you
Seems that I'm always thinking of you
Oh, you treat me badly
I love you madly
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
Said you really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)

I don't want you but I need you
Don't want to kiss you but I need to
Oh, you do me wrong, now
My love is strong, now
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
Said you really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)

I love you and all I want you to do is just
Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me

I want to leave you, don't want to stay here
I don't want to spend another day here
Oh, oh, oh, oh, you do me wrong, now
My love is strong, now
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
I said you really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)

I love you and all I want you to do is just
Hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me

Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me

It's pretty self explanatory, which makes it all the better. I'm also pretty sure that anyone that's been in pathetic love with someone can relate.

Brilliant cover of what was already an amazing song

The fuck? Zooey's voice is gorgeous in the song. Same with every other song she's done.

It's M. Ward's voice that should have been left out of this song. His voice is amazing, but just doesn't fit here, in my opinion.

I love most of what She & Him do, but I'm not real crazy about this cover. It's way too slow and forcibly melodramatic. All of the swing of the Miracles original is gone (and of the Beatles' cover of it, for that matter), and it ends up being more of a funeral dirge, and a bit of a creepy one, too.

My Opinion

Although I like most other She and Him songs, they really should've passed up this cover. It's already a melodramatic song, but Zooey's singing exaggerates the bathos to a laughable level.
