Hold You Tight
Tara Kemp Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus: x2]
Just want to hold you tight
All day All night
Just want to hold you tight

I look at you
You look at me
And then we smile
Knowing what we're in for

The kiss that you give
Makes me want you more and more
We're having the time of our lives

And then you say that
I will always be the one
Someone right for your dreams at night
I wish we could be
Right here, right now, always
Touching and loving you so right

[Chorus]

Seeing you here by my side
Words come out that I can't hide
You're an image of my dreams

I need you and you need me too
As long as we keep holding on
I'll be there for you

[Chorus]

Love
Your body
Your beauty
I want more

[Repeat: x2]
I want you to
Hold me, love me, squeeze me
I need you to
Touch me, please me, tease me





[Chorus]

The Eighties and early Nineties was probably the best years music wise. Miss those days.

@ritawilliams5250

Yes, even the white girls had soul back in the days. That's when music was real. Teena Marie was my all time favorite though. Tara, Lisa S., and others made good and meaningful music. Miss those years.
