Ohh!

[Verse 1]
'D' is for devastating double dose
Of dynamite (Dynamite!)
'I' is for instance, if I'm irritated you make me feel alright (Feel alright)
'N' is for now, (Now!) now you're hesitating
'A' is for act, (Act!) act, no sense in waiting
'H' is for hold me, hold me, hold me
Hold me, hold me Dinah, hold me tight
(Hold me tight!)

[Verse 2]
Yes and 'D' is for daily demonstrations of your deep devotion (Deep devotion!)
Oh, 'I' is for illustrating [?] and [?] in my mixed emotions (Mixed emotions!)
Yes and 'N' is for next (Next!), next time you come away
'A' is for all, honey all [?], all I'm gonna ever say
'H' is for hold me, hold me, hold me
Ohh, hold me close, c'mon and hold me closer
(Hold me closer!)

[Verse 3]
Got to tell you baby
Dinah girl you're dynamite (Dinah girl you're dynamite!)
And it took some time for me to light your fuse
I really had to pay some dues
If I had it to do it again (If I had it to do it again)
Oh I'm gonna do it and do it with you and choose
My choice would be the same
You know you're the one for me
C'mon and spell her name (D!)
Darling, darling, darling D oh!
C'mon and spell her name, oh (I!)
[?] I love you
(C'mon and spell her name), give it to me (D!)
Now! (H!)
'H' is for hold me, hold me, hold me
Hold me, hold me Dinah, hold me dear
(Hold me dear!)

[Outro]
Oh Dinah (Hold me, hold me)
Hold me baby!
(Hold me, hold me)
Dinha, hold me tight (Hold me tight)
(Hold me, hold me)
(Hold me, hold me)
Hold me tight (Hold me tight)
