Lewis, Jerry Lee - Baby Hold Me Close Lyrics
Now listen here baby to what old Jerry Lee has to say
Cause baby Jerry don't talk this nonsense to everyone
I want you to get out on this dance floor with me now
And now hold me close baby hold me close
Baby you move me girl oh hold me close yeah
Mhm baby hold me close don't you move your feet
Just a move it slow baby to that old rockin' beat
And don't you say a word mhm honey just just hold me close
Oh baby hold me close dance the night away
Honey I want you to just breathe a little deep mhm you know what to say
Mhm when the band is gone honey we can still rock on
Easy now honey hold me close honey hold me tight
Squeeze old Jerry Lee all through the doggone night
Easy now rrrrrrr uh huh huh
Oh you look so doggone good baby you turn me up and I don't mean maybe
Ah ha hha ha oh honey come on now let's go one time

Oh hold me close that's the way baby
Oh ain't that the oldest beat in the world darlin'

My god!!!! Great!
Very good

The 45 single was released in the U.S., UK, Australia, Brazil, and the Netherlands. The single reached no. 129 on the Billboard chart in the U.S. in 1965. Jerry Lee Lewis performed the song on the Shindig show on network television in the U.S. in 1965. The Australian rock group Billy Thorpe and The Aztecs released a cover version in Australia on Parlophone Records. Their recording was a hit on the Australian charts. The Jerry Lee Lewis recording has the trademark Killer cat growl "Grrrrrrrrrr".
The lyrics to "Baby, Hold Me Close" written by Jerry Lee Lewis and Bob Tubert, 1965:
"Now listen here baby to what old Jerry Lee has to say
Cause baby Jerry don't talk this nonsense to everyone
I want you to get out on this dance floor with me now
And now hold me close baby hold me close
In a tumbled move baby you move too
Baby you move me girl oh hold me close yeah
Mhm baby hold me close don't you move your feet
Just a move it slow baby to that old rockin' beat
And don't you say a word mhm honey just just hold me close
Oh baby hold me close dance the night away
Honey I want you to just breathe a little deep mhm you know what to say
Mhm when the band is gone honey we can still rock on
Easy now honey hold me close honey hold me tight
Squeeze old Jerry Lee all through the doggone night
Oh you know what I mean honey I can't stand much of this I might go plumb crazy
Easy now rrrrrrr uh huh huh
Oh you look so doggone good baby you turn me up and I don't mean maybe
Ah ha hha ha oh honey come."
Basic melody of this tune was lifted from The Blendells 1964 hit "La La La La La"
The Blendells recording was a cover of the 1962 Tamla release by Stevie Wonder. Stevie Wonder first released "La La La La La" in August, 1962. The song was written by Motown Records staff composer Clarence Paul. It was published by Jobete Music, the Motown publishing company. All songs are similar to other songs. Every song can be deconstructed to reveal its similarities to other songs.
Thanks for the information. I didn't know the Blendells tune was a cover. These songs go way back when "answer songs" were very popular, and a lot of artists followup sounded way too similar to their previous hit
One of the Killer's Greatest Songs!!
