Raffaella Carrà Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well I'm obsessin' and I can't help myself
When we're clubbin'
I feel like there ain't nobody else
But I, I feel you pull away
Baby tell me what can I do
Cus I can't bear to see you go
So baby, Just hold me a little longer
Don't you let me go
There's never ever been another man
You already know
And I know that times have changed
But you know my heart stays the same
So baby, just hold me a little longer
Don't you let me go, don't you let me go
You got me waiting here
Hoping I can see your face
You got me stressing
And worrying in all over the place
If I could hold you a minute longer
You know that is what I'd do
Can't bear to see you go
Don't you know I'm hurting too
So baby, Just hold me a little longer
Don't you let me go
There's never ever been another man
You already know
And I know that times have changed
But you know my heart stays the same
So baby, Just hold me a little longer
Don't you let me go, don't you let me go
Baby hold me close, don't ever let me go
Baby hold me close, don't ever let me go
Baby hold me close, don't ever let me go
So baby, just hold me a little longer
Don't you let me go
There's never ever been another man
You already know
And I know that times have changed
But you know my heart stays the same
So baby, just hold me a little longer
Don't you let me go, don't you let me go
And I know that times have changed
But you know my heart stays the same
So baby, just hold me a little longer
Don't you let me go, don't you let me go
Hold me
in is a song by Italian singer Raffaella Carrà that talks about the fear of losing someone you love. The singer of the song is obsessed with her partner and feels like there's nobody else when they're out clubbing. However, her partner seems to pull away from her and she can't bear the thought of losing him. She begs him to hold her a little longer and not to let her go.
The lyrics of the song are simple and straightforward but capture the raw emotion of someone who's afraid of losing the love of their life. The juxtaposition of the upbeat melody with the sad lyrics makes it even more poignant.
The song was released in 1979 and became an instant hit in Italy and Europe. It was also popular in Latin America and the Middle East. It has been covered by many artists over the years and remains a classic love song.

The way you move,
Your movements captivate me and I cannot get enough
Well I'm obsessin' and I can't help myself
I am fixated on you and unable to control my thoughts and feelings
When we're clubbin',
When we are out enjoying the nightlife together
I feel like there ain't nobody else
I feel like you and I are the only two people in the world
But I, I feel you pull away
But lately, I sense that you are withdrawing from me
Baby tell me what can I do
Please let me know how I can fix this situation
Cus I can't bear to see you go
Because the thought of losing you is unbearable for me
Don't you know I'm hurting too
I am also in pain because of our distance
So baby, Just hold me a little longer
Please embrace me and show me that you still care
Don't you let me go
Please do not leave me alone in this
There's never ever been another man
You are the only person I have ever felt this way about
You already know
I have expressed this to you before
And I know that times have changed
I understand that circumstances are different now
But you know my heart stays the same
But my feelings for you have not changed
You got me waiting here
I am anxiously waiting to hear from you
Hoping I can see your face
I am hopeful that we can connect soon
You got me stressing
I am under a lot of pressure because of our disconnection
And worrying in all over the place
I cannot stop worrying about what will happen to us
If I could hold you a minute longer
If I had the chance to hold you again, even for a brief moment
You know that is what I'd do
I would take that opportunity without hesitation
Baby hold me close, don't ever let me go
Please hold me tightly and never release me
And I know that times have changed
I am aware that things are different now
But you know my heart stays the same
But my feelings for you remain constant
Don't you let me go
Please hold onto me and do not let me slip away
Hold me
Embrace me and hold me tight
