Oh yeah, I'll tell you something
 I think you'll understand
When I say that something
 I wanna hold your hand

 I wanna hold your hand
 I wanna hold your hand

Oh please, say to me
 You'll let me be your man
And please, say to me
 You'll let me hold your hand

 Now let me hold your hand
 I wanna hold your hand

 And when I touch you I feel happy inside
 It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide - I can't hide - I can't hide

Yeah, you, got that something
 I think you'll understand
When I say that something
 I wanna hold your hand

 I wanna hold your hand
 I wanna hold your hand

 And when I touch you I feel happy inside
 It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide - I can't hide - I can't hide

Yeah, you got that something,
 I think you'll understand
When I feel that something
 I wanna hold your hand

 I wanna hold your hand
 I wanna hold your hand
 I wanna hold your ha--and
