Chorus:
G
I wanna hold
         D    C
I gotta hold you
 G              D
Hold you baby close to me

A
I hope you find it funny
G
That I got no money
A
But if you stick with me
B                      D
You're gonna get some love for free

Chorus:
I wanna hold
I gotta hold you
Hold you baby close to me
Close to me

I gotta hold you
I gotta hold you
Hold you baby close to me, yeah

You sure look good to me
So what's it gonna be
It's up to you to choose
I'll make an offer
You can't refuse

Chorus

This time it's not for fun
That you're the only one
What should I say to you
I don't know if this love is overdue

Chorus

But if you let me smile
But if you know I lie
But after all you gave
I'll be your lover
I'll be your slave

   I wanna hold you
   I gotta hold you
   Hold you baby close to me
   Oh yeah, oh yeah
