You've Really Got a Hold on Me [*] Lyrics

I don't like you, but I love you
Seems that I'm always thinkin' of you
Oh, you treat me badly
I love you madly

You really got a hold on me
Come on
You really got a hold on me, yeah
I love you and all I want you to do is just hold me
Hold me, hold me, yeah

I don't want you, but I need you
Don't wanna kiss you, but I need you
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) come on
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me) yeah
I love you and all I want you to do is just hold me
Hold me, hold me, yeah

I wanna leave you, don't wanna stay here
Don't wanna spend another day here
Oh, I wanna split now
'Cause I can't quit now

You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me) come on
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)
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
Yeah
(You really got a hold on me)
Yeah, yeah
(You really got a hold on me)
You got a hold, babe
(You really got a hold on me)
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
