I Want To Hold Your Hand

By John T. Marck

This song is that which is probably the most significant of all the songs of The Beatles, in that it was the one that made the breakthrough in America and changed the face of music forever.  John& Paul wrote the song together in the Harley Street house of Jane Asher's parents. It was recorded on October 17, 1963, and was the first time The Beatles used EMI's new four-track machine.  This is another of Lennon & McCartney's relationship songs.

Oh Yeah I'll tell you something I think you'll understand

When I say that something I want to hold your hand

I want to hold your hand, I want to hold your hand

Oh, please say to me you'll let me be your man

And please say to me you'll let me hold your hand

Not,

let me hold your hand I want to hold your hand

And when I touch you I feel happy inside It's such a feeling that my love

I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide

Yeah,

you got that something I think you'll understand When I say that something

I want to hold your hand, I want to hold your hand,

I want to hold your hand

And when I touch you I feel happy inside It's such a feeling that my love

I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide

Yeah,

you got that something I think you'll understand

When I say that something

I want to hold your hand, I want to hold your hand I want to hold your hand,

I want to hold your hand
