I Wanna Hold Your Hand
Capturing Love's Joy: Susan Wong's I Wanna Hold Your Hand Meaning
Lyrics
Oh yeah, I´ll tell you something
Expressing enthusiasm and intention to share something important
I think you’ll understand
Expectation that the listener will comprehend the forthcoming statement
When I say that something
Hinting at a specific matter or emotion
I wanna hold your hand
Expressing a desire to hold hands with someone
I wanna hold your hand
Reiteration of the desire to hold hands
I wanna hold your hand
Repetition emphasizing the strong desire to hold hands
Oh, please, say to me
Requesting the listener to confirm willingness to be in a relationship
You’ll let me be your man
Asking for confirmation to be the person's romantic partner
And please, say to me
Reiteration of the request for confirmation
You’ll let me hold your hand
Expressing the desire to physically hold the person's hand
Now let me hold your hand
Repetition emphasizing the strong desire to hold hands
I wanna hold your hand
Reiteration of the desire to hold hands
And when I touch you I feel happy, inside
Describing the positive emotion felt when physically touching the person
It’s such a feeling
Highlighting the intensity of the emotion
That my love
Emphasizing that the emotion is love
I can’t hide
Expressing difficulty in concealing the love
I can’t hide
Reiteration of the challenge in hiding the emotion
I can’t hide
Repetition emphasizing the difficulty in hiding the emotion
Yeah you, got that something
Acknowledging a unique quality or charm in the person
I’ll think you’ll understand
Expectation that the listener will comprehend the mentioned quality
When I say that something
Hinting at a specific matter or emotion, similar to earlier lines
I wanna hold your hand
Reiteration of the desire to hold hands
I wanna hold your hand
Repetition emphasizing the strong desire to hold hands
I wanna hold your hand
Reiteration of the desire to hold hands
I wanna hold your hand
Repetition of the strong desire to hold hands
I wanna hold your hand
Reiteration of the strong desire to hold hands
