Yardbirds Lyrics of the Taking A Hold On Me track

(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.
