You've Really Got A Hold On Me
The Beatles · Anthology (Part 1) [1995]
I don't like you
But I love you
Seems that I'm always
thinking of you
Oh, oh, oh,
you treat me badly
i love you madly
You really got a hold on me
You really got a hold on me, baby
I don't want you,
but I need you
Don't want to kiss you
but I need to
Oh, oh, oh
you treat me badly
i love you madly
You really got a hold on me
You really got a hold on me, baby
I love you and all I want you to do
is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
I want to leave you
don't want to stay here
Don't want to spend
another day here
Oh, oh, oh, I want to split now
I just can't quit now
You really got a hold on me
You really got a hold on me, baby
I love you and all I want you to do
is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
You really got a hold on me
You really got a hold on me
But I love you
Seems that I'm always
thinking of you
Oh, oh, oh,
you treat me badly
i love you madly
You really got a hold on me
You really got a hold on me, baby
I don't want you,
but I need you
Don't want to kiss you
but I need to
Oh, oh, oh
you treat me badly
i love you madly
You really got a hold on me
You really got a hold on me, baby
I love you and all I want you to do
is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
I want to leave you
don't want to stay here
Don't want to spend
another day here
Oh, oh, oh, I want to split now
I just can't quit now
You really got a hold on me
You really got a hold on me, baby
I love you and all I want you to do
is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me
You really got a hold on me
You really got a hold on me

Released on The Beatles' 1995 Anthology compilation, this track stands as a rare studio recording featuring the band's full lineup, including Ringo Starr on drums. The song showcases the group's ability to blend upbeat pop rhythms with a driving, rhythmic guitar line that became a signature of their mid-1960s sound. While often overshadowed by their more famous hits, the recording demonstrates the band's tight harmonies and energetic performance style. It serves as a testament to their versatility during a period when they were experimenting with different musical textures while maintaining their core identity as one of the most influential acts in rock history.
