Recorded September 12 1963.

Available on:
With The Beatles

Hold Me Tight was originally planned to feature on the Please Please Me album. But the recording was at that time not considered satisfactory, so instead a new version was recorded for With The Beatles. Paul McCartney wrote the song, and he is said to have been inspired by girl group The Shirelles.

Hold Me Tight

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 me tight, to-night, to-night,
It’s you,
You you you - oo-oo - oo-oo.
Hold me tight,
Let me go on loving you,
To-night to-night,
Making love to only you,
So hold me tight, to-night, to-night,
It’s you,
You you you - oo-oo - oo-oo.
Don’t know what it means to hold you tight,
Being here alone tonight with you,
It feels so right now, 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 me tight, to-night, to-night,
It’s you,
You you you - oo-oo - oo-oo.
Don’t know what it means to hold you tight,
Being here alone tonight with you,
It feels so right now, feels so right now.
Hold me tight,
Let me go on loving you,
To-night to-night,
Making love to only you,
So hold me tight, to-night, to-night,
It’s you,
You you you - oo-oo - oo-oo
