Hold Me Tight Lyrics

[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, 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

According to John Lennon:

That was Paul’s. Maybe I stuck some bits in there – I don’t remember. It was a pretty poor song and I was never really interested in it either way.

Paul McCartney was a bit less dismissive of the song, although it’s obviously not one he holds in high regard either:

When we first started it was all singles and we were always trying to write singles, That’s why you get lots of these two minute 30 second songs; they all came out the same length. Hold Me Tight was a failed attempt at a single which then became an acceptable album filler.
