(quiet)

Take my hand and hold it
(I won't bite, I promise)
Take my hand and hold it close to yours
(you'll be ok baby, yeah i'm honest)

Take your hand in mine
Take your hand in mine
I wouldn't worry any more
Because i'm here now...

(fast kick in)

Why do I even bother
Why should I even care
Trying to make
Your hand fit into mine
Like a glove, yeah...

You avoid it like
I've got a disease

(filler, build down)

Don't be nervous
You don't need to be
Don't be shy...
At least not around me

(build up)

(chorus)

Won't somebody take my hand
And keep it company
Won't somebody take this hand
And stop it being lonely
I wish you would hold my hand
Tonight...

(filler, build down)

Walk down the street
Wind tearing at my...face...
See all these hands
Wrapped around each other
In a happy, warm embrace

Won't you hold my hand
In that embrace like all of them
I know I shouldn't get jealous
But it happens...
But it happens...
I wish it could happen to me

(filler, build down)

Don't be nervous
You don't need to be
Don't be shy...
At least not around me

(build up)

(chorus)

Won't somebody take my hand
And keep it company
Won't somebody take this hand
And stop it being lonely
I wish you would hold my hand
Tonight...

(filler, build down)

You take hold of my hand
And i'll take hold of yours

I can't wait for tomorrow

Yeah...

When you
Hold my hand

(end)
