Lake Street Dive - Don't Make Me Hold Your Hand Lyrics






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'll know just how I love you when I got you alone.
Baby it's true I'm in love, but I'm too shy.

People are voyeurs darling, one thing on their minds
I hear their whispers, darling, and I feel their eyes
staring at our affection in a way most unkind

Baby don't mistake me
I'm in love, but please don't make me
oh, 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 I won't do
so don't make me hold you hand
Why 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 sound

Baby I can't show it
I'm in love but no one knows it

    Amazing song and both McDuck and Mike Calabrese rock their side of this song. one of my favorites.

  56. b.... ....

    I kinda drifted off in the middle of this song and found myself comparing the musicality of the drummer Mike, with that of Meg White (White Stripes), and my head almost exploded ! All four of these people are so massively talented, it's amazing......

    J.... H....

    Just look up amy winehouse videos--This girl does a good imitation

    J.... H....

    I know what you are saying Ice, but these four have such a symmetry, to add or subtract any element would change and possibly ruin it!

  61. K.... ....

    Bridget is so good on bass...even manages to tune a string at 3:04 and doesn't miss a beat.

    K.... ....

    Wow, I didn't notice that before. I love how nonchalant she is about it too. What a monster

  62. M.... B....

    i.... ....

    You're bored. Boo hoo hoo.

    i.... ....

    I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Brace yourself. Amy Winehouse did not invent soul music. Seriously. Look it up.

    i.... ....

    Projection ain't just for the movies.

    i.... ....

    No but she invented her style--and..looks like this girl stole it

    i.... ....

    .....i guess--whatever the hell that means

    I'm a official senior citizen who prefers opera, but this is the best performance on Youtube and the best rock/pop since the early 70's.  Tight group. They obviously love their work and take it seriously.  the need a British knight to take them to the top.
