Our selection from our ESL Music Videos Library today is 'I Wanna Hold your Hand' by the Beatles.
This was the first number one hit song that the Beatles had in America.

Oh please, say to me
You'll let me be your man
And please, say to me
You'll let me hold your hand.
Now let me hold your hand,
I want to hold your hand.
And when I touch you I feel happy inside.
It's such a feeling that my love
I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide.
Yeah, you've got that something,
I think you'll understand.
