[Verse 1: Eddie Kendricks + (The Temptations)]
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)
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
Baby
[Verse 2: Eddie Kendricks + (The Temptations)]
I don't want you, but I need you
Don't want to kiss you, but I need you
Oh, you do me wrong now
My love is strong now

I love you and all I want you to do
Is just (hold me) please, (hold me) squeeze, (hold me), hold me, (hold me)
Tighter...(tighter)
[Verse 3: Eddie Kendricks + (The Temptations)]
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 quit now

You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
