[Intro]
Feel alright, ooh-ooh

[Verse 1]
I don't like you
But I love you
Seems that I'm always
Thinkin' of you
Oh, oh, oh you treat me badly
I love you madly

[Chorus]
You really got a hold on me (You really got a hold on me)
You really got a hold on me (You really got a hold on me), baby

[Verse 2]
I don't want you
But I need you
Don't wanna to kiss you
But I need to
Ooh, ooh, ooh, you do me wrong now
My love is strong now

[Chorus]
You really got a hold on me (You really got a hold on me)
You really got a hold on me (You really got a hold on me), baby

[Bridge]
I love you
And all I want you to do
Is just
(Hold me) Please
(Hold me) Squeeze
Hold me
Hold me
Tighter
Tighter

[Verse 3]
I wanna leave you
Don't want to stay here
Don't want to spend
Another day here
Oh, oh, oh, I wanna split now
I can't quit now

[Chorus]
You really got a hold on me (You really got a hold on me)
You really got a hold on me (You really got a hold on me), baby

[Bridge]
I love you
And all I want you to do
Is just
(Hold me) Please
(Hold me) Squeeze
Hold me
Hold me

[Outro]
You really got a hold on me (You really got a hold on me)
I said you really got a hold on me
