Hold My Hand
The Kinks · Other Songs - The Kinks
I'll be standing at the door, and I won't say any more.
I know that she's been there.
It's not the way I look at her, it's the way she looks at me.
Yes you can hold my hand any other night,
Hold my hand, it's gonna be all right.
Hold my hand any other night of the week,
It's all right.
Hold my hand any other night,
Hold my hand, it's gonna be all right.
Hold my hand any other night of the week,
It's all right.
Hold my hand.
Hold my hand.
Hold my hand.
When she lays on my bed,
It's not me she's thinking of, it's just me that really cares.
My time, I know is out,
And she'll be walking through that door,
And she'll lie again tomorrow night.
Yes you can hold my hand any other night,
Hold my hand, it's gonna be all right.
Hold my hand any other night of the week,
It's all right.
Hold my hand any other night,
Hold my hand, it's gonna be all right.
Hold my hand any other night of the week,
It's all right.
Hold my hand.
Hold my hand.
Hold my hand.
Hold my hand.
About Hold My Hand
The Kinks' "Hold My Hand" stands as a quintessential example of their mid-1960s rock and roll output, blending the band's signature British pop sensibilities with a driving rhythm section. Recorded during a period when Ray Davies was refining his songwriting craft to move beyond simple novelty acts toward more complex social commentary and personal narratives, the track captures the energy of the era's youth culture. While often associated with the broader "Face to Face" era of their discography, the song reflects the band's ability to craft catchy melodies that resonated deeply with listeners seeking both entertainment and a glimpse into contemporary life. Its enduring appeal lies in its straightforward yet effective composition, showcasing the group's mastery of the genre while contributing to the rich tapestry of British Invasion music that defined the decade.
