I Want to Hold Your Hand
Embracing Love's Yearning
Lyrics
Oh yeah I tell you somethin'
Expressing excitement or anticipation
I think you'll understand
Believing that the listener will comprehend
When I say that somethin'
Referring to a specific feeling or emotion
I want to hold your hand
Expressing a desire to physically hold hands
I want to hold your hand
Reiteration of the desire to hold hands
I want to hold your hand
Repetition emphasizing the strong desire
Oh please say to me
Requesting confirmation or consent
You'll let me be your man
Asking for permission to be the listener's romantic partner
And please say to me
Repetition of the request for permission
You'll let me hold your hand
Expressing the desire to physically hold hands again
Now, let me hold your hand

And when I touch you
Describing the positive emotions when touching the listener

Feeling happiness internally when making physical contact
It's such a feelin' that my love
Acknowledging a deep emotional connection
I can't hide
Expressing difficulty in concealing the love felt
I can't hide
