I Don't Want to Hold Your Hand Songtext

von Rupert Holmes

As the evening ends
I feel as if we're friends
And I know it's hard, baby
Makin' up your lonely mind
If you want love forever
You'd better slip away
And I don't wanna hold your hand

Hold your hand, hold your hand
I don't wanna hold your hand
That was ten long years ago
I no longer move that slow
Hold your hand, hold your hand
How I wanna be your man

Back in '65
When I was half-alive
I begged, "Please, please me
Baby, baby, love me do."
But the days are gone forever
Of "Hear of John and Paul?"
And I don't wanna hold your hand

Hold your hand, hold your hand
I don't wanna hold your hand
That was ten long years ago
I no longer move that slow
Hold your hand, hold your hand
How I wanna be your man

And when I touch you
I can feel you pull back inside
But you show too much to try to hide
Try to hide, try to hide
Try to hide, try to hide

Hold your hand, hold your hand
I don't wanna hold your hand
That won't do for me right now
Draw me close, I'll show you how

Understand, understand
I don't wanna hold your hand.
That was ten long years ago
I no longer move that slow

Hold your hand, hold your hand
I don't wanna hold your hand
That won't do for me right now
Draw me close, I'll show you how

Understand, understand
I don't wanna hold your hand...
