Lyrics

Wish I Could Hold You



Chorus 1
Wish I could hold you in my arms
Stare with passion in your eyes
Wish I could hold you in my arms

Verse 1
I'm hung up on you, you're so fun to talk to
You get me laughing so hard sometimes
My eyes start cryin

Verse 2
And I have this under control
Until you stand a bit too close
Then my feelings and attraction start all over again
That I've tried and tried to end

Chorus 1
Wish I could hold you in my arms
Stare with passion in your eyes
Wish I could hold you in my arms

Verse 3
I try to come off distant and businesslike around you
But in total pitchblack darkness
My sparks for you can't hide

Chorus 2
Wish I could hold you in my arms
Reach euphoria in your kiss
Wish I could hold you in my arms

Bridge
I fight my desire and think it's finally going away
I deny the fire, but the rain won't put out the flame!

Chorus 1
Wish I could hold you in my arms
Stare with passion in your eyes'
Wish I could hold you in my arms

Chorus 2
Wish I could hold you in my arms
Reach euphoria in your kiss
Wish I could hold you in my arms

Vamp over choruses
Oh baby I wish I could hold you
Oh baby I wish I could hold you in my arms
Hey baby I wish I could hold you
Hey baby I wish I could hold you
