Lake Street Dive Don't Make Me Hold Your Hand
[Verse 1]
Why won't you let me love you in the best way I know?
We won't go out to dinner, and we won't see a show
You'll know just how I love you when I got you alone
[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, it's true, I'm–
I'm in love, but I'm too shy
[Verse 2]
People are voyeurs, darling, one thing on their minds
I hear them whisper, darling, and I feel their eyes
Staring at our affection in a way most unkind
[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, don't mistake me
I'm in love, oh, but please don't make me
[Chorus]
Oh now, baby, please don't make me hold your hand
You don't seem to understand how it makes me feel
When people stop and stare
I swear, there are other ways to show it
Baby, please don't make me hold your hand
There are few things I demand of you
It's the one thing that I just won't do
So don't make me hold your hand
[Verse 3]
Why won't you let me love you where we'll never be found?
‘Way on some distant island or a hole in the ground
No one will see our lovin' and they won't hear a sound
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, baby, I can't show it
I'm in love, I'm in love but no one knows it, oh
[Chorus]
Now, baby, please don't make me hold your hand
You don't seem to understand how it makes me feel
When people stop and stare
I swear, there are other ways to show it
Baby, please don't make me, don't make me hold your hand
There are few things I demand of you
It's the one thing that I just won't do
So don't make me hold your hand
Don't make me hold your hand
Don't make me hold your hand
