I never wanted something so bad in my life
But somehow I thought it was so far out of reach
The only thing I seem to think of is having you by my side
‘Cause I know this is where you ought to be
You can’t imagine knowing what it’s like to hold this all inside
Pretty little baby I know you’ll never know
(Never never know)
If I could embrace you and hold you safely in these loving arms
Pretty little girl I’d never let you go – Ohh
[Chorus]
Hold one second
(Hold one second – I need to talk to you)
I’m at the top of my need
Hold one second
I want you right here with me
It’s something about the way you smile
That makes me feel like a kid again
(Ah haa)
When I’m watching you with your friends
And sitting at a distance
But something tells me that you’ve noticed me noticing you
(You you)
And that you like it too
But from the look in your eyes
I know it’s no surprise
But I ain’t like them other guys
(You get these looks from other guys)
But I wanna be different
I keep hoping for the moment
When I can just get close to you
(Tick tock tick tock)
But I’m wonderin’ wonderin’ wonderin’
What to do – What to do
So can I ask
If you can
[Chorus]
Hold one second
I’m at the top of my need
Hold one second
(Hold -- if you can give me a chance)
I want you right here with me
Oh girl – oh girl
Can you hold
Hold a minute
(Hold a minute baby)
It’s something in the way that you smile
And it’s something in the shine of your eyes
I want you right here
(Makes me want you right here -- Makes me want you right here)
I want you right here
(ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh – ahh ahh ahh ahh ahh)
So can I ask
[Chorus]
Hold one second
I’m at the top of my need
Hold one second
I want you right here with me
