KELLY GROUCUTT, Lyrics.:

You Don't Need to Hold Me Tight

Darlin' forgive me
'Cause I've never felt this way before
I can't stay unless I'm really sure
Was it holding you tight
Or was it just the way

The moonlight was shining?
Turning my heart inside out
I can't stay if there's a trace of doubt
Was it holding you tight
And kissing me the way you kissed me tonight
Is it just the way you're holding me tight?
And doing what you do
I just can't hold on any more

You didn't need to hold me tight
But in a way, I'd hoped you might
You didn't have to call my name
Over and over again
You didn't need to act that way
But since you did, I'll have to stay
'Cause I need you so
And I can't let go
I love everything about you

And I will love you through your darkest nights
And keep you safe from harm
I will hold you in my arms
Because I know you'll never let me go

I don't need a crystal ball
To know I'll stay with you
There's nothing I can do
When you're holding me tight
And kissing me the way
You kissed me tonight
Making love the way we made love tonight
Doing what you do
I just can't hold on any more

You didn't need to hold me tight
But in a way, I'd hoped you might
You didn't have to call my name
Over and over again
You didn't need to act that way
But since you did, I'll have to stay
'Cause I need you so and I can't let go
I love everything about you

And I will love you through your darkest nights
And keep you safe from harm
I will hold you in my arms
Because I know you'll never hurt me
I will warm you when you're cold at night
And keep you by my side
I will hold you in my arms my baby
You'll never have to worry 'bout me
And I will love you through your darkest nights
And keep you safe from harm
I will hold you in my arms
Because I know you'll never hurt me
