Why won't you let me love you
in the best way I know
We won't go out to dinner
and we won't see a show
You know just how I love you
When I got you aloneBaby it's true I
I'm in love, but I'm too shyPeople avoid us darlin'
One thing on their minds
I hear them whisper darlin'
and I feel their eyes
Starin' at our affliction in a way most unkindBaby don't mistake me
I'm in love, but please don't make meOh now baby please, don't make me hold your hand
You don't seem to understand
How it makes me feel
When people stop and stare
I swear, there are other ways to show it baby
Please don't make me hold your hand
There are few things I demand of you
It's the one thing that I just won't do
So don't make me hold your handWhy won't you let me love you
Where we'll never be found
Way on some distant island
Or a hole in the ground
No one will see our lovin'
and they won't hear a soundOh baby I can't show it
I'm in love but no one knows itNow baby please
Don't make me hold your hand
You don't seem to understand
How it makes me feel
When people stop and stare
I swear there are other ways to show it, baby
Please, don't make me
Don't make me hold your hand
There are few things i demand of you
It's the one thing that I just won't do
So don't make me hold your hand
Don't make me hold your hand
Don't make me hold your hand
