Albums in which the song is present

JOHN 1980: 'That was Paul's.
Maybe I stuck some bits in there… I really don't remember.
It was a pretty poor song and I was never really interested in it either way.'

PAUL 1988: 'I can't remember much about that one.
Certain songs were just 'work' songs… you haven't got much of a memory of them.
That's one of them.
You just knew you had a song that would work, a good melody.
'Hold Me Tight' never really had that much of an effect on me.
It was a bit Shirelles.'

PAUL circa-1994: ''Hold Me Tight' was a failed attempt at a single which then became acceptable album filler.'

It feels so right now, hold me tight
Tell me I'm the only one
And then I might
Never be the lonely one
So hold me tight, tonight, tonight,
It's you, you you you oooo oooo

Hold me tight
Let me go on loving you
Tonight tonight
Making love to only you
So hold me tight, tonight, tonight
It's you, you you you oooo oooo

Don't know what it means to hold you tight
Being here alone tonight with you
It feels so right now, feels so right now

Hold me tight
Tell me I'm the only one
And then I might
Never be the lonely one
So hold me tight, tonight, tonight
It's you, you you you oooo oooo

Don't know what it means to hold you tight
Being here alone tonight with you
It feels so right now, feels so right now

Hold me tight
Let me go on loving you
Tonight, tonight
Making love to only you
So hold me tight, tonight, tonight
It's you, you you you oooo oooo
You oooo
