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'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 want to kiss you
But I need to
Oh, oh, oh
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 (please), hold me (squeeze), hold me, hold me

I want to leave you
Don't want to stay here
Don't want to spend
Another day here
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
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)

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

Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me

    Although I like most other She and Him songs, they really should've passed up this cover. It's already a melodramatic song, but Zooey's singing exaggerates the bathos to a laughable level.
