You know that there's an achin' deep inside me Tearin' me apart each lonely day You can sooth my spirit with some of your lovin' With you by my side we can make it okay There's a way of love with you and I'm seeing the glow All I need is understandin' just to let me grow I can't tell you now 'bout all of my reasons Burdens of this life have me in a trance You can help unlock my other secrets Though your warm embrace I'll give the good life a chance There's a way of love with you and I'm feeling it flow All I need is understanding just to let me grow Hold me Just a little tighter 'Cause when you hold me I don't have to fight it I don't want to sound like I'm full of self pity 'Cause that's not the way I want it to be All I need for now is your love to forget her Love so sweet completely setting me free There's a way of love with you and I'm seeing the glow All I need is understandin' just to let me grow Hold me Just a little tighter 'Cause when you hold me I don't have to fight it Hold me (hold me) Just a little tighter 'Cause when you hold me I don't have to fight it Come on, try it again Hold me, yeah Just a little tighter, tighter, tighter 'Cause when you hold me I don't have to fight it Hold me, hold me Just a little tighter, hold me little tighter 'Cause when you hold me, yeah I don't have to fight it Why don't you try it baby Hold me Just a little tighter
