Lyrics

Hold Me Closer (Purple Disco Machine Remix)

[Intro: Britney Spears]

Ooh, yeah

[Verse 1: Elton John & Britney Spears, Elton John]

I saw you dancin' out the ocean

Runnin' fast along the sand

A spirit born of earth and water

Fire flyin' from your hands (Oh)

[Chorus: Elton John & Britney Spears, Britney Spears]

Hold me closer, tiny dancer

Count the headlights on the highway

Lay me down in sheets of linen

You had a busy day today, oh

[Post-Chorus: Elton John, Elton John & Britney Spears, Purple Disco Machine]

Hold me closer, hold me closer (Hold me closer)

Hold me closer, hold me closer

Hold me closer, hold me closer

[Verse 2: Elton John, Britney Spears & Elton John & Britney Spears]

There are caravans we follow

Drunken nights in dark hotels, baby (Yeah)

When chances breathe between the silence

Where sex and love no longer gel, oh

[Chorus: Elton John & Britney Spears, Britney Spears, Purple Disco Machine]

Hold me closer, tiny dancer

Count the headlights on the highway (Yeah)

Lay me down in sheets of linen (Won't you lay me down?)

You had a busy day today (Today)

[Post-Chorus: Elton John & Britney Spears, Britney Spears, Purple Disco Machine]

Hold me closer (Hold me closer), hold me closer (Baby, baby)

Hold me closer (Hold me closer), hold me closer (Oh, yeah)

[Outro: Britney Spears, Elton John & Britney Spears, Purple Disco Machine]

Hold me closer, closer, closer, ooh

Hold me closer (Hold me closer), hold me closer

Hold me closer (Hold me closer), hold me closer
