I Want to Hold Your Hand
Capturing Love's Essence: Embracing the Desire to Hold Your Hand
Lyrics
Oh yeah, I'll tell you something,
Expressing intent to communicate something significant
I think you'll understand
Belief that the listener will comprehend
When I'll say that something
Hinting at the unspoken desire to hold hands
I want to hold your hand,
Expressing the explicit desire to hold hands
I want to hold your hand,
Reiteration of the desire to hold hands for emphasis
I want to hold your hand.
Repetition emphasizing the desire to hold hands
Oh please, say to me
Requesting affirmation about being accepted as a romantic partner
You'll let me be your man
Seeking permission to be in a relationship
And please, say to me
Requesting permission to hold hands
You'll let me hold your hand.
Expressing eagerness to hold hands
Now let me hold your hand,
Stating the desire to physically connect by holding hands
I want to hold your hand.
Reaffirming the wish to hold hands
And when I touch you I feel happy inside.
Describing joy and happiness felt upon touching the person
It's such a feeling that my love
Expressing the intensity of emotions felt for the person
I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide.
Reiteration of the inability to conceal these intense feelings
Yeah you've got that something,
Recognizing a special quality in the person
I think you'll understand.
Belief in mutual understanding of this special quality
When I say that something
Hinting at the unspoken desire to hold hands (repeated)
I want to hold your hand,
Expressing the explicit desire to hold hands (repeated)
I want to hold your hand,
Reiteration of the desire to hold hands for emphasis (repeated)
I want to hold your hand.
Repetition emphasizing the desire to hold hands (repeated)
And when I touch you I feel happy inside.
Describing joy and happiness felt upon touching the person (repeated)
It's such a feeling that my love
Expressing the intensity of emotions felt for the person (repeated)

Reiteration of the inability to conceal these intense feelings (repeated)
Yeh, you've got that something,
Recognizing a special quality in the person (repeated)

I want to hold your hand,
Repetition emphasizing the desire to hold hands (repeated)
I want to hold your hand.
Reaffirmation of the strong desire to hold hands (repeated)
