[Verse 1]
It feels so right now, hold me tight
Tell me I'm the only one, and then I might
Never be the lonely one
So hold (hold), me tight (me tight)
Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight)
It's you, you, you, you

[Verse 2]
Hold me tight
Let me go on loving you
Tonight, tonight
Making love to only you
So hold (hold), me tight (me tight)
Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight)
It's you, you, you

[Bridge]
You don't know
What it means to hold you tight
Being here alone tonight with you
It feels so right

[Verse 1]
Now hold me tight
Tell me I'm the only one
And then I might
Never be the lonely one
So hold (hold), me tight (me tight)
Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight)
It's you, you, you

[Bridge]
You don't know
What it means to hold you tight
Being here alone tonight with you
It feels so right

[Verse 2]
Now hold me tight
Let me go on loving you
Tonight tonight
Making love to only you
So hold (hold), me tight (me tight)
Tonight (tonight), tonight (tonight)
It's you, you, you, you, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Oo-ooh, ooh-ooh
You, ooh-ooh

The Beatles

The Beatles are arguably the most famous, critically-acclaimed, and successful rock band of all time—certainly the preeminent group of the 20th century. They started out as four teenagers playing grimy basement clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg, but they progressed to become world-beating rock stars who are still influential to this day.

John Lennon first formed a skiffle group called The Quarrymen in March 1957. A fifteen-year-old Paul McCartney joined shortly thereafter, eventually inviting his friend George Harrison to audition for the band. After finally impressing John with his guitar skills, George was asked to join—but this juncture would be short-lived as John’s departure to college signaled the other quarrymen to go their separate ways.

By 1960, Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison had re-branded from ‘Johnny & the Moondogs’ to ‘The Silver Beetles’ at the behest of their new bass player, Stuart Sutcliffe. The name would eventually evolve into ‘The Silver Beatles’ by July of that year, before settling on ‘The Beatles’ come August—just in time for their trip to Hamburg with new drummer, Pete Best. Though club residencies in Germany would prove fundamental to the group’s progress as a whole, the tour turned out to be a blessing and a curse, following the deportation of a then-seventeen-year-old George Harrison, and the eventual tragic death of Stuart Sutcliffe.
