Lyrics

I don't like you

I have negative feelings towards you

But I love you

Despite my dislike, I feel a strong love for you

Seems that I'm always

It appears that thoughts of you are always on my mind

Thinking of you

Constantly thinking about you

Oh, oh, oh,

Expressing emotion, possibly emphasizing the intensity of feelings

You treat me badly

You mistreat me

I love you madly

Despite the mistreatment, I love you passionately

You've really got a hold on me

You have a strong influence or control over me

(You really got a hold on me)

Reiteration of the strong hold you have on me

You really got a hold on me

-

(You really got a hold on me)

Repetition emphasizing the intense hold on me


Baby, I don't want you

I don't desire you

But I need you

Despite not wanting, I have a strong need for you

Don't want to kiss you

Unwillingness to kiss you

But I need to

Despite the reluctance, there is a necessity to kiss you

Oh, oh, oh

Expressing emotion, possibly emphasizing the intensity of feelings

You do me wrong now

You harm me, but my love remains strong

My love is strong now

Despite the wrongdoing, my love is resilient

You've really got a hold on me

You have a strong influence or control over me

(You really got a hold on me)

Reiteration of the strong hold you have on me

You really got a hold on me

-

(You really got a hold on me)

Repetition emphasizing the intense hold on me


Baby, I love you and all I want you to do

Expressing love and a desire for physical closeness

Is just hold me (please), hold me (squeeze), hold me, hold me

Requesting to be held with emphasis on the plea


I want to leave you

Expressing a desire to leave the relationship

Don't want to stay here

Unwillingness to stay in the current situation

Don't want to spend

Reluctance to spend more time in the current state

Another day here

Unwillingness to endure another day in the current state

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Expressing emotion, possibly emphasizing the intensity of feelings

You do me wrong now

You harm me, but my love remains strong

My love is strong now

Despite the wrongdoing, my love is resilient

You've really got a hold on me

You have a strong influence or control over me

(You really got a hold on me)

Reiteration of the strong hold you have on me

You really got a hold on me

-

(You really got a hold on me)

Repetition emphasizing the intense hold on me


I love you and all I want you to do

Expressing love and a desire for physical closeness

Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me

Requesting to be held with emphasis on the plea


Hold me

Repetition of the plea to be held, possibly highlighting the importance of physical closeness

Hold me

-

Hold me

-

Hold me

-

Hold me

-

Hold me

-

Hold me

-

Hold me

-

Hold me

-

Hold me

-

Hold me

Final plea to be held
