lyrics

Well I don't like you, but I love you
Seems that I'm always, thinking of you
Oh, oh, oh, you treat me badly
I love you madly
You really got a hold on me
You really got a hold on me

Oh baby now, I don't want to stay here, don’t want to sit here
Don't wanna spend another day here
Oh, oh, oh, you I want to quit now
My love can’t sit
You really got a hold on me
You really got a hold on me

Baby, I love you and I all I want you to do
Is just hold on me, hold me, hold me, hold me

Well I don't want you, but I need you
Don’t want to kiss you, but I got to
Oh, oh, oh, just can’t stay
You really got a hold
You really got a hold

Baby, I love you and I all I want you to do
Is just hold on me, hold me, hold me, please hold me

Tied up, tied up

Well I don't like you, but I love you
Seems that I'm always, thinking of you
Oh, oh, oh, you treat me badly
I love you madly
You really got a hold on me
You really got a hold on me

Baby, I love you and I all I want you to do
Is just hold on me, hold me, hold me, hold me

==========as published===========
I don't like you, but I love you
Seems that I'm always thinkin' of you
You treat me badly, I love you madly
You've really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)

Baby, I don't want you, but I need you
Don't wanna kiss you, but I need to
You do me wrong now, my love is strong now
You've really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)

Baby, I love you and all I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hole me
Tighter, tighter

I wanna leave you, don't wanna stay here
Don't wanna spend another day here
I wanna split now, I can't quit now
You've really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)

Baby, I love you and all I want you to do
Is just hold me, hold me, hold me, hole me
(Please, squeeze)

You really got a hold on me
(You really got a hold on me)
I said you really got a hold on me
(I said you really got a hold on me)
You know, you really got a hold on me
(You know, you really got a hold on me)
You know, you really got a hold on me
(You know, you really got a hold on me)

I said you really got a hold on me
(I said you really got a hold on me)
You know, you really got a hold on me
(You know, you really got a hold on me)

about

Willie Wisely Saint Paul, Minnesota

Equal parts Minnesotan music scene veteran and Laurel Canyon resident/devotee, Willie Wisely remains that rare bird mixing profound power pop with arena-sized showmanship, a troubadour on an all night rave up, a cold kombucha on a hot California day, a McCartney-ite taking a break from his Japanese import of “Ram” for a quick Canyon run listening to João Gilberto. ... more
