Taking A Hold On Me Lyrics

Taking A Hold On Me

(Keith Relf / Jim McCarty / Chris Dreja / Jimmy Page)

 Watching TV just the other day,

 Saw an advertisement, what can I say?

 It showed a small baby, and some men in a war,

 I thought to myself, "What's this fighting all for?"

 

 And I felt sad,

 Felt bad,

 I'm not pleased,

 There's no need,

 Taking a hold on me,

 Knew it just had to be,

 Never knew how it was,

 Knew it was just because.

 

 I spoke to some fellows here, early last night,

 One of those guys, he prepared for a fight,

 He couldn't agree to the things that I said,

 Am I speaking so free? He thought I should have been dead.

 

 And I felt sad,

 Felt bad,

 I'm not pleased,

 There's no need,

 Taking a hold on me,

 Knew it was just to be,

 Never knew how it was,

 Knew it was just because.

 

 In my hotel room, a bible I saw,

 [?] and what's more,

 [?] no more [?],

 So why not be like him, don't read all those [?]

 

 I feel sad,

 Feels bad,

 Not pleased,

 There's no need,

 Taking a hold on me,

 Knew it just had to be,

 Never knew how it was,

 Knew it was just because.

 

 Taking a hold on me,

 Taking a hold on me,

 Taking a hold on me,

 Taking a hold on me,

 Taking a hold on me,

 Taking a hold on me.
