My cover of one of my all-time favorite songs! I Want To Hold Your Hand is the sister song to She Loves You. First She Loves You topped the charts in the UK on September 14, 1963. Then I Want To Hold Your Hand topped the charts in the United States on February 1, 1964. Together, these two remarkable songs formed the 1-2 punch that launched Beatlemania around the world. As Rolling Stone Magazine put it: "It's no insult to the Beatles to say they never topped this song because nobody else has either. . . It's the most joyous three minutes in the history of human noise." I had a blast singing it!

LYRICS

Oh, yeah, I'll tell you somethin'
I think you'll understand
When I say that somethin'
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand

Oh, please, say to me
You'll let me be your man
And please, say to me
You'll let me hold your hand
You'll let me hold your hand
I want to hold your hand

And when I touch you
I feel happy inside
It's such a feelin' that my love
I can't hide
I can't hide
I can't hide

Yeah, you got that somethin'
I think you'll understand
When I say that somethin'
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand

And when I touch you
I feel happy inside
It's such a feelin' that my love
I can't hide
I can't hide
I can't hide

Yeah, you got that somethin'
I think you'll understand
When I feel that somethin'
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
I want to hold your hand
