I Want to Hold Your Hand
Embracing Love's Joy: A Journey to Hold Your Hand
Lyrics
Oh yeah I tell you somethin'
Expressing excitement or enthusiasm
I think you'll understand
Belief that the listener will comprehend
When I say that somethin'
Referring to a particular feeling or emotion
I want to hold your hand
Expressing the desire to physically hold hands
I want to hold your hand
Repetition for emphasis
I want to hold your hand
Reiteration of the desire to hold hands
Oh please say to me
Request for affirmation
You'll let me be your man
Seeking permission to be in a romantic relationship
And please say to me
Repetition of the request for confirmation
You'll let me hold your hand
Expressing the desire to hold hands again
Now, let me hold your hand
Reiteration of the request to hold hands
I want to hold your hand
Restating the desire to hold hands
And when I touch you
Describing a positive emotional response to physical contact
I feel happy inside
Feeling joy or contentment internally
It's such a feelin' that my love
Expressing an intense emotional experience
I can't hide
Acknowledging the difficulty of concealing love
I can't hide
Repetition for emphasis
I can't hide
Emphasizing the challenge of hiding love
Yeah, you got that somethin'
Recognizing a distinctive quality in the person
I think you'll understand
Expectation that the listener will comprehend
When I say that somethin'
Referring again to a specific feeling or emotion
I want to hold your hand
Expressing the desire to hold hands once more
I want to hold your hand
Repetition for emphasis
I want to hold your hand
Reiteration of the desire to hold hands
And when I touch you
Recurrence of the positive emotional response to touch
I feel happy inside
Re-experiencing happiness internally
It's such a feelin' that my love
Reaffirmation of an intense emotional experience
I can't hide
Reiteration of the difficulty in concealing love
I can't hide
Repetition for emphasis
I can't hide
Emphasizing the challenge of hiding love
Yeah, you got that somethin'
Recognizing a distinctive quality in the person
I think you'll understand
Expectation that the listener will comprehend
When I feel that somethin'
Referring to a particular feeling or emotion once more
I want to hold your hand
Expressing the desire to hold hands again
I want to hold your hand
Repetition for emphasis
I want to hold your hand
Reiteration of the desire to hold hands
I want to hold your hand
Repetition for emphasis
