Baby Let Me Hold Your Hand (Baby Let Me Take You Home)
Professor Longhair's Version
Baby, let me hold your hand
Please let me hold your hand
'Cause if you hold my hand
Maybe you'll understand
I wanna be your lovin' man.
Please don't turn me down
Please don't turn me down
'Cause if you turn me down
You make me feel like a clown
I just wanna be around
Hoagy Lands' Version
I've seen a lot of pretty girls
In my time
I never really paid them any mind
And, baby, when I saw you
Somehow I knew
That you were the loving kind
Ooh, baby, let me hold your hand
Baby, let me hold your hand
Let me feel it right there
And I'll take you anywhere
If you only let me hold your hand
(Oh, my hand is right there)
(If you take me anywhere)
(You know, baby, you can hold my hand)
Baby, let me be your man
Baby, let me be your man
Let me hold you real tight
Let me love you all night
I just want to be your man (that's all, baby)
(You can hold me real tight)
(You can love me all night)
(Oh, yeah, you can be my man)
Now I want you to listen to me
Now I want you to be
A full time love
'Cause the kind of love I got for you
Is really strong
Now these arms are made
For just yours inside
So get in, baby,
Where you belong
Now you know I don't mind,
King's love flirt
Every man has to go through some of that
But I'm here to let you know
Personally, baby
Exactly where it's at
Baby, let me take you home
Baby, let me take you home
Oh, the walk will do you good
You know we'll talk the way I should
(Oh, you talk the way you should)
(And the walk will do me good)
(Come on baby, you can take me home)
Come on, baby (come on, baby)
Come on, baby (come on, baby)
Come on, baby (come on, baby) .
The Animals' Version
Baby, can I take you home
Baby, let me take you home
I'll love you all my life
You can bet I'll treat you right
If you'll just let me take you home
Baby, can I dance with you
Baby, can I dance with you
I'll do anything in this god almighty world,
If you'll just let me dance with you
Baby, let me take you home
Baby, let me take you home
I'll love you all my life
You bet I'll treat you right,
If you'll just let me take you home
When I saw you, baby
I couldn't ignore you
And I wanted you
For my girl
And when you said, yeah
I just couldn't care about
Anybody else in this world alone
You smiled at me, baby
And I could see my life
Planned out ahead
You took my hand and it felt so good
And this is what you said
(Baby, won't you be my man)
(Baby, won't you be my man)
(Yes, I'll be your man)
And I'll do the best I can
I want to be your man
That's all, baby
Oh, c'mon, c'mon, baby
Baby, feel alright
Hey, baby, it's alright
So good
It's alright
