Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I only know I never want to let you go
'Cause you started something, can't you see
That ever since we met you've had a hold on me
I happens to be true, I only want to be with you
It doesn't matter where you go or what you do
I want to spend each moment of the day with you
I never knew that I could be in love like this
It's crazy but it's true, I only want to be with you
You stopped and smiled at me
Asked me if I'd care to dance
I fell into your open arms
I didn't stand a chance
Now, listen, honey, I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together, honey, I don't care
'Cause you started something, can't you see
That ever since we met you've had a hold on me
No matter what you do, I only want to be with you
You stopped and smiled at me
Asked me if I'd care to dance
I fell into your open arms
I didn't stand a chance
Now hear me darling, I just want to be beside you everywhere
As long as we're together, honey, I don't care
'Cause you started something, can't you see
That ever since we met you've had a hold on me
No matter what you do, I only want to be with you
I said, no matter, no matter what you do, I only want to be with you

This is an absolute masterpiece. The full orchestra, the backing group are superb and the engineering/recording was astounding for technology in 1963.

To be fair music got pretty amazing in the 60s like just a few years later in 1966 Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys came out which a lot of people say is one of the best albums of all time.
The exact same year as this song the Beatles did their cover of Twist and Shout and they released Love Me Do and the very next year they released one of their best albums A Hard Days Night so the 60s were an amazing time for music.
