I Want to Hold Your Hand
Embracing Love's Yearning
Lyrics
Oh, yeah, I'll tell you somethin'
Expressing a desire to share something important
I think you'll understand
Belief that the listener will comprehend
When I say that somethin'
When expressing this particular thing
I want to hold your hand
Expressing a desire for physical closeness, likely holding hands
I want to hold your hand
Reiteration of the desire to hold hands
I want to hold your hand
-Oh, please, say to me
Request for affirmation to be considered as a romantic partner
You'll let me be your man
Asking permission to be in a romantic relationship
And please, say to me
Request for permission to hold hands
You'll let me hold your hand
Desire to hold hands reiterated
You'll let me hold your hand
-I want to hold your hand
-And when I touch you
Expressing joy upon physical contact
I feel happy inside
A sense of internal happiness when touching the person
It's such a feelin' that my love
Feeling a deep emotional connection
I can't hide
Unable to conceal this emotion
I can't hide
-I can't hide
-Yeah, you got that somethin'
Recognition of a special quality in the person
I think you'll understand
Belief that the listener will comprehend this quality
When I say that somethin'
When expressing admiration for this particular quality
I want to hold your hand
Reiteration of the desire to hold hands
I want to hold your hand
-I want to hold your hand
-And when I touch you
Feeling of happiness upon physical contact
I feel happy inside
Internal happiness triggered by the touch
It's such a feelin' that my love
Deep emotional connection felt due to love
I can't hide
Inability to hide this emotion
I can't hide
-I can't hide
-Yeah, you got that somethin'
Acknowledgment of the special quality again
I think you'll understand
Belief that the listener will understand this quality
When I feel that somethin'
When feeling this particular quality
I want to hold your hand
Reiteration of the desire to hold hands
I want to hold your hand
-I want to hold your hand
-I want to hold your hand
Expressing the longing to hold hands once more
