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
You can tell everybody
That we're just fooling around
But baby don't fool yourself
I know what's going down
If you won't hold my hand
How can you call yourself my man
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
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 stay here by your side
While you're denying me
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
You whisper that you love me
But you won't say it out loud
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
If you won't hold my hand
Then how can you call yourself my man
And you, you don't understand
What this does to me
How it feels to be your girlfriend on demand
If you won't hold my...
Hold my hand
It's all I'm asking, baby
To hold my hand
