[Intro]
Mm, ooh
Do, do, do
[Verse 1]
In the beginning, you came on so strong
You were polite and full of charm
You got what you wanted, then it wasn't very long
Before you dropped the act and hot became lukewarm
[Pre-Chorus]
You can tell everybody that we're just foolin' around
But, baby, don't fool yourself, I know what's goin' down
[Chorus]
If you won't hold my hand
How can you call yourself my man?
And if I, if I can't meet your friends
And your family, how can I be your girlfriend on demand?
If you won't hold my hand
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh
Do-do-do, do, do
[Verse 2]
Give me one good reason I should sit around and wait
If you control my destiny, how can I trust in fate?
Go ahead, take your time, I want you to be free
But I won't stand here by your side while you're denying me
[Chorus]
If you won't hold my hand
How can you call yourself my man?
And you, see, you don't understand
What this does to me, how it feels to be your girlfriend on demand
When you won't hold my hand
[Bridge]
You whisper that you love me
Ooh, but you won't say it out loud
Mm, you act like you're ashamed to be with me
I want a man who's proud
Tell me to my face I'm not good enough
What could you possibly be thinking of?
Why won't you look me in the eyes when we're making love?
[Chorus]
If you won't hold my hand, oh
Then how can you call yourself my man?
And you, you don't understand
What it does to me, how it feels to be your girlfriend on demand
If you won't hold my
Hold my hand
[Outro]
Hold my hand
That's all I'm asking, baby
Ooh
Just hold my hand
Mm
Mm
