I Want To Hold Your Hand

 

I saw you look the other way

with your eyes so dark and grey

at a blonde across the room

and assets you had really zoomed

I knew right then it's time for action

to find a way to make you see

that I have qualities that any man would die for

You'll belong to me

 

I saw you walk up to the bar

as I admired from afar

I saw the shoulders of a fighter

but a spirit of a writer

I knew right then it's time for action

to find a way to make you see

that I have qualities that any man would die for

You'll belong to me

 

I want to hold your hand and ask you out for a walk

I want to kiss your lips, get to know you as we talk

and if we're lucky by the time it's late

you've agreed to a proper date

then I will be the happiest girl in the world

 

I knew I had to hurry up

another sip out of my cup

I made my way through the crowd

with the music ringing loud

and when I stood right next to you

and you looked my way

I didn't have the slightest clue what to do

so I simply had to say

 

I want to hold your hand and ask you out for a walk

I want to kiss your lips, get to know you as we talk

and if we're lucky by the time it's late

you've agreed to a proper date

then I will be the happiest girl in the world

 

To my surprise

you gave me a yes

You said I'm in the mood tonight

to make my life a mess

You gave me a nod and somewhat odd

as we walked across the floor

heading for the door

 

You said, I want to hold your hand and take you out for a walk

I want to kiss your lips, get to know you as we talk

and if we're lucky by the time it's late

I've agreed to a proper date

then I will be the luckiest guy under the sky

then I will be the luckiest guy under the sky
