Text: John Hiatt. Perfectly Good Guitar + Bonus Cd. When You Hold Me Tight.

(let me hear ya get funky now)

When your heart touches mine

And my thoughts explode

When our wires get crossed

And the fire burns my soul



Then I know you're home

When you shine your light

And i dont have to use the phone

To call you

Baby when you hold me tight

We can count heartbeats and squeeze

Baby when you hold me tight

You can really make a man say, please



When im down to my last

Cigarette in your bed

And the smoke rings blow

THrough the dreams in your head



And we burn through the dark

With a light so bright

And the hardes part is leavin'



Baby when you hold me tight

We can count heartbeats and squeeze

Baby when you hold me tight

You can really make a man say please



Please dont ever let go

Please dont ever let go

Please dont ever let go

Good god it hurt me so

Baby please dont let go

Please dont ever let go

Please dont ever let go

Baby cause it hurt me so

Hey baby



When the morning comes

And you're still here with me

And you give me some

Of your sweet mystery



And it feels so real

And it feels so right

And I want your love

Forever



Baby when you hold me tight

We can count heartbeats and squeeze

Baby when you hold me tight

You can really make a man say please



Baby when you hold me tight

We can count heartbeats and squeeze

Baby when you hold me tight

You can really make a man say please
