Hold Me Tight
The Treasures Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It feels so right now, hold me tight
Tell me I'm the only one
And then I might
Never be the lonely one
So hold me tight, to-night, to-night
It's you, you you you, oh, oh, oh, oh

Hold me tight
Let me go on loving you
To-night to-night
Making love to only you
So hold me tight, to-night, to-night
It's you, you you you, oh, oh, oh, oh

Don't know what it means to hold you tight
Being here alone tonight with you
It feels so right now, feels so right now

Hold me tight
Tell me I'm the only one
And then I might
Never be the only one
So hold me tight, to-night, to-night
It's you, you you you, oh, oh, oh, oh

Don't know what it means to hold you tight
Being here alone tonight with you
It feels so right now, feels so right now

Hold me tight
Let me go on loving you
To-night, to-night
Making love to only you
So hold me tight, to-night, to-night




It's you, you you you, oh, oh, oh, oh
You oh oh

This has to be one of Spector’s best ever recordings.

@funkyjames

The voice of the singer is awesome. The chords progression extremely unbelievable. This song is unique !

@MignonDunne

This song embodies the essence of 60s rock.  Truly amazing!  A throwaway that never charted.  Truly amazing!

@user-my7mv1vc3o

このスペクターのアレンジは後で大滝詠一師匠の白い港で使われますね

@dano3952

There's something so hauntingly mesmerizing about Spector's wall of sound. Even though Phil ended up a murderous lunatic. God keep Lana Clarkson well in heavenly peace .Amen.

@beatlejim64

One of my favorite Beatles "cover" versions...

@martyn3538

Those Hal Blaine drums.......fantastic.

@stillstanding6031

He had no peer. There was Hal Blaine and then there was everybody else. Thank you, Hal. You were always music to my ears :-)

@richieluckenbill1590

Most likely Earl Palmer on this. Hal isn't on record for playing on this session.

@josephroache3176

@@richieluckenbill1590 Hal Blaine or Earl Palmer, I don’t know, but they were both two of the most in-demand session drummers back then.
