Hold Me Tight

By John T. Marck

Written by McCartney, this song had been recorded earlier, but the tape was accidentally destroyed. This recording came from a session on September 12, 1963. Paul considered it a "work song," sort of a filler, and Lennon had no interest in it at all. It is, I believe, one of only a few The Beatles ever recorded that should have stayed on the cutting room floor, so to speak. Paul and The Beatles loved the girl groups of the sixties, and Paul tried to fashion this song after the Shirelles. It gets bad reviews because McCartney strays off key at times.

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 (hold), me tight, (me tight), tonight, (tonight), tonight, (tonight)

It's you, you, you, you,

oo

hold me tight, let me go on loving you, tonight, tonight making love to only you

so hold (hold), me tight, (me tight), tonight, (tonight), tonight, (tonight)

It's you, you, you, you,

oo

don't know, what it means to hold you tight, being here alone tonight with you

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 (hold), me tight, (me tight), tonight, (tonight), tonight, (tonight)

It's you, you, you, you,

oo

don't know, what it means to hold you tight, being here alone tonight with you

it feels so right now, hold me tight, let me go on loving you

tonight (tonight), making love to only you, so

hold (hold), me tight, (me tight), tonight, (tonight), tonight, (tonight)

It's you, you, you ,you,

oo, oo, oo,

you, oo
