I Want to Hold Your Hand
Embracing Love: The Yearning to Hold Your Hand
Lyrics
Oh yeah I tell you somethin'
Expressing excitement and confidence, hinting at a special revelation
I think you'll understand
Anticipating comprehension or mutual understanding
When I say that somethin'
Referring to a particular thing or quality
I want to hold your hand
Expressing a desire for physical closeness and connection
I want to hold your hand
Repetition emphasizing the strong desire to hold hands
I want to hold your hand
Reiteration of the strong desire to hold hands
Oh please say to me
Requesting confirmation of a romantic relationship
You'll let me be your man
Expressing a desire to be a significant other or partner
And please say to me
Repeating the request for confirmation and validation
You'll let me hold your hand
Reiterating the desire to physically hold hands
Now, let me hold your hand
Emphasizing the immediate desire to hold hands
I want to hold your hand
Reiteration of the intense desire to hold hands
And when I touch you
Describing a positive emotional response when physically touching
I feel happy inside
Expressing happiness and joy from the physical contact
It's such a feelin' that my love
Acknowledging an indescribable feeling associated with love
I can't hide
Affirming the difficulty of hiding this intense emotion
I can't hide
Repetition emphasizing the inability to conceal the emotion
I can't hide
Continuation of the theme of inability to hide the emotion
Yeah, you got that somethin'
Acknowledging a special quality or charm in the person
I think you'll understand
Anticipating understanding or recognition of that special quality
When I say that somethin'
Referring again to a particular thing or quality
I want to hold your hand
Expressing the desire to hold hands, reiterating the sentiment
I want to hold your hand
Repetition emphasizing the strong desire to hold hands
I want to hold your hand
Reiteration of the intense desire to hold hands
And when I touch you
Recalling the positive emotional response when physically touching
I feel happy inside
Reaffirming the happiness and joy from the physical contact
It's such a feelin' that my love
Reiterating the indescribable feeling associated with love
