Wanna Hold You
The Rolling Stones · The Rolling Stones Box Set [2009]
I wanna hold
I wanna hold you
Hold you baby close to me
I hope you find it funny
That I got no money
But if you stick with me
You're gonna get some love for free
I wanna hold you
I gotta hold you
Hold you baby close to me
Close to me
I wanna hold you
I gotta hold you
Hold you baby close to me, yeah
This time it's not for fun
That you're the only one
Why should I say to you?
I wanna hold you
I gotta hold you
Hold you baby close to me
I wanna hold you
I gotta hold you
Hold you baby close to me
But if you let me smile
But if you know I lie
But after all you gave
I'll be your lover
I'll be your slave
I wanna hold you yeah
I wanna hold you
Hold you baby close to me
I wanna hold you
I gotta gold you
Hold you baby close to me
Oh yeah oh yeah
I wanna hold you
I gotta hold you
Hold you baby close to me
I wanna hold you
I gotta hold you
Hold you baby close to me
I wanna hold you
I gotta hold you
Hold you baby close to me
