[Intro]
I want to hold
I want to hold you
Hold you baby close to me

[Verse 1]
I hope you find it funny
That I got no money
But if you stick with me
You're going to get some love for free

[Chorus]
I want to hold you
I got to hold you
Hold you baby, close to me
Close to me
I want to hold you
I got to hold you
Hold you baby, close to me, yeah

[Verse 2]
This time it's not for fun
That you're the only one
Why should I say to you?
I only know what this love's gonna do

[Chorus]
I want to hold you
I got to hold you
Hold you baby, close to me
I want to hold you
I gotta hold you
Hold you baby, close to me

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
I want to hold you, yeah
I want to hold you
Hold you baby, close to me
I want to hold you
I got to hold you
Hold you baby, close to me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I want to hold you
I got to hold you
Hold you baby, close to me
I want to hold you
I got to hold you
Hold you baby, close to me
I want to hold you
I got to hold you
Hold you baby, close to me

The Rolling Stones

Formed in London in 1962, The Rolling Stones led the “British Invasion” along with The Beatles and were so successful their influence can be seen in arguably every rock ‘n’ roll band that followed.

Three of the current members have been there since the band’s singer Mick Jagger and guitarist Keith Richards, who write the majority of the band’s catalogue and also produced some albums as The Glimmer Twins; and drummer Charlie Watts. The fourth official member is guitarist Ronnie Wood, who has been there since 1975 (the keyboardist and bassist who play in studio and live are usually not listed). The Stones have released more than 20 studio albums, and even as age caught up on them, continued to be a huge attraction on the live circuit, with big stadium tours continuing through the 1990s, 2000s and into the 2010s.
