I Don't Want to Hold Your Hand - Rupert Holmes

As the evening ends

I feel as if we’re friends

And I know it’s hard, baby

Makin' up your lonely mind

If you want love forever

You’d better slip away

And I don’t wanna hold your hand

Hold your hand, hold your hand

I don’t wanna hold your hand

That was ten long years ago

I no longer move that slow

Hold your hand, hold your hand

How I wanna be your man

Back in '65

When I was half-alive

I begged, «Please, please me Baby, baby, love me do.»

But the days are gone forever

Of «Hear of John and Paul?»

And I don’t wanna hold your hand

Hold your hand, hold your hand

I don’t wanna hold your hand

That was ten long years ago

I no longer move that slow

Hold your hand, hold your hand

How I wanna be your man

And when I touch you

I can feel you pull back inside

But you show too much to try to hide

Try to hide, try to hide

Try to hide, try to hide

Hold your hand, hold your hand

I don’t wanna hold your hand

That won’t do for me right now

Draw me close, I’ll show you how

Understand, understand

I don’t wanna hold your hand.

That was ten long years ago

I no longer move that slow

Hold your hand, hold your hand

I don’t wanna hold your hand

That won’t do for me right now

Draw me close, I’ll show you how

Understand, understand

I don’t wanna hold your hand…
