Mike + the Mechanics

Released: March 6, 1995

Songwriter: Smokey Robinson

Producer: Christopher Neil Mike Rutherford

I don't like you but I love you
Seems that I'm always thinking of you
Oh, you treat me badly I love you madly;
You really got a hold on me
You really got a hold on me, baby
I love you and all I want you to do is just hold me
Hold me, hold me, hold me

I don't want you but I need you
Don't want to kiss you but I need to
Oh, you do me wrong now my love is strong now;
You really got a hold on me
You really got a hold on me, baby
I love you and all I want you to do is just hold me
Hold me, hold me, hold me

You tighter
Tighter I want to leave you don't want to stay here
Don't want to spend another day here
Oh, I want to split now;
I can't quit now
You really got a hold on me
You really got a hold on me
Baby really got a hold on me
I said you really got a hold on me
