Don’t Make Me Hold Your Hand

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Why won't you let me love you in the best way I know? We won't go out to dinner, and we won't see a show You'll know just how I love you when I got you alone [Pre-Chorus] Baby, it's true, I'm– I'm in love, but I'm too shy [Verse 2] People are voyeurs, darling, one thing on their minds I hear them whisper, darling, and I feel their eyes Staring at our affection in a way most unkind [Pre-Chorus] Baby, don't mistake me I'm in love, oh, but please don't make me [Chorus] Oh now, baby, please don't make me hold your hand You don't seem to understand how it makes me feel When people stop and stare I swear, there are other ways to show it Baby, please don't make me hold your hand There are few things I demand of you It's the one thing that I just won't do So don't make me hold your hand [Verse 3] Why won't you let me love you where we'll never be found? 'Way on some distant island or a hole in the ground No one will see our lovin' and they won't hear a sound [Pre-Chorus] Oh, baby, I can't show it I'm in love, I'm in love but no one knows it, oh [Chorus] Now, baby, please don't make me hold your hand You don't seem to understand how it makes me feel When people stop and stare I swear, there are other ways to show it Baby, please don't make me, don't make me hold your hand There are few things I demand of you It's the one thing that I just won't do So don't make me hold your hand Don't make me hold your hand Don't make me hold your hand
