[Verse 1]
I don't like you
But I love you
Seems that I'm always
Thinking of you
Oh, oh, oh
You treat me badly
I love you madly
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby

[Verse 2]
I don't want you
But I need you
Don't want to kiss you
But I need to
Oh, oh, oh
You do me wrong now
My love is strong now
You've really got a hold on me
You've really got a hold on me, baby

[Chorus]
I love you and all I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me

[Verse 3]
I want to leave you
Don't want to stay here
Don't want to spend
Another day here
Oh, oh, oh, You do me wrong now
My love is stronger
You've really got a hold on me
I said you've really got a hold on me, baby

[Chorus]
I love you and all I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me

[Outro]
Hold me, hold me
Hold me, hold me
Hold me, hold me
Hold me, hold me

She & Him is an American indie duo consisting of Zooey Deschanel (vocals, piano, ukulele) and M. Ward (guitar, production). Deschanel and Ward first met on the set of the film The Go-Getter, in which Deschanel had a starring role. The director, Martin Hynes, introduced them to each other and asked them to sing a duet together to be played at the end credits of the film. Ward, having heard Deschanel sing previously in the film Elf, was surprised to learn that she wrote songs herself, but hadn’t pursued a career in music. Deschanel had actually done years' worth of home demos, but was shy about becoming a big-name celebrity.On a whim, she decided to send them to Ward. Ward called her a short time later, and their band She & Him was formed.
