You Really Got a Hold on Me
Love's Complex Grip: The Miracles' Musical Tale of Passion and Struggle
Lyrics
I don't like you
I have negative feelings towards you
But I love you
Despite not liking you, I have deep affection for you
Seems that I'm always
It seems that thoughts of you are always on my mind
Thinking of you
Constantly thinking about you
Though oh, oh, oh,
An expression of emotional intensity
You treat me badly
Despite mistreatment, my love for you persists
I love you madly
I love you passionately despite your actions
You've really got a hold on me
You have a strong emotional influence on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby
Your influence on me is significant, baby
I don't want you,
I do not desire you
But I need you
I am in a position where I need you
Don't want to kiss you
I do not wish to kiss you
But I need to
Despite not wanting to, I feel the need to kiss you
Oh, oh, oh
Expressing emotional intensity
You do me wrong now
Your actions are causing me pain
My love is strong now
My love for you remains strong despite the hardships
You've really got a hold on me
Your emotional hold on me is profound
You've really got a hold on me, baby
You have a significant emotional grip 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, hold me, hold me, hold me
Requesting a tighter and more secure hold
Tighter, tighter
Emphasizing the desire for a close and secure embrace
I want to leave you
Expressing a desire to end the relationship
Don't want to stay here
Not wanting to remain in the current situation
Don't want to spend
Expressing a reluctance to spend more time here
Another day here
Not wanting to endure another day in the current state
Though Oh, oh, oh, I want to split now
Despite the desire to leave, there is an inability to do so
I just can't quit now
Feeling trapped and unable to break free
You've really got a hold on me
Your emotional hold on me persists
You've really got a hold on me, baby
Your influence on me is deep and enduring, baby
I love you and all I want you to do
Expressing love and the desire for a close connection
Is just hold me, squeeze me, hold me, hold me
Requesting a strong and affectionate hold
You've really got a hold on me
Your emotional grip on me is powerful
I've said you've really got a hold on me
Reiteration of the significant emotional hold you have
You know you've really got a hold on me
Acknowledgment of the profound emotional influence
