    Girl I just want to hold you
    Build my world right around you
    Cause girl you give me the tightest hold
    I've ever felt in my life
    Girl I just wanna squeeze you
    Build my world right around you
    Oh girl you give me the tightest hold
    I've ever felt in my life
    Dry your eyes I can't
    See I take you anytime anywhere
    When you're scared or full of fear
    As a man I will be there
    I want a girl who can grow with me
    I want a girl who can take care of me
    Could you be it, let me see it
    Girl could you really be it
    Girl I just want to hold you
    Build my world right around you
    Cause girl you give me the tightest hold
    I've ever felt in my life
    Girl I just wanna squeeze you
    Build my arms right around you
    Oh girl you give me the tightest hold
    I've ever felt in my life
    Life past me by too fast to recall
    Never felt this good before
    Cause you're like a drug without you I'm in withdraw
    You always leave me wanting more
    She's a fire in my soul
    That's, burning out of control
    More and more and still I go
    Just let this feeling multiply more
    Cause I wanna just hold you
    Build my world right around you
    Girl you give me the tightest hold
    I've ever felt in my life
    Girl I just wanna squeeze you
    Build my arms right around you
    Oh girl you give me the tightest hold
    I've ever felt in my life

    The thing is that the actual song that he is covering by Gyptian does say the "tightest hole I've ever felt in my life" and he wasn't talking about a hug... the entire song is about what a good lay the girl was. That's why I die with laughter whenever I listen to the soul Alex Clare injected into this.

  • @rocbelizaire8079

    I love the Gyptian version, and it because it was sung so well by Gyptian..that it was worthy of being rendered. Alex, you blew me away. I did not think this song could get any better. You brought life to a song that people played out.

      We all have a choice to listen to it or not. When I think of caribbean covers, they usually take the original version out of a song and put the "caribbean" in it..making it their own. He made it his own rendition, without disrespecting the original. It was very soulful, and carefully performed..with a wonderful craft. Music is for our ears, and our soul. If you listen with judgment, you will miss the music.

He is strong enough to love you, cherish you and make you feel on top of the world. One of the few non-man haters, when did women need to be men, destroy men to be a woman? Sorry OT but I feel it.

My man Alex Clare just changed his wikipedia status to "Clare is a practicing Shomer Shabbat Jew, refusing to perform, travel or work on the Jewish Sabbath or religious Holidays. He lives in Golders Green, North London but often travels to Jerusalem when his work permits." Now that's Really Doing it!

    Just saying it was OT (off topic) but I felt that way. I saw a picture of a man prposing to a woman and someone commented "how can they be equals in marriage when he's down on the bended knee". To me that's a sad commentary, how is the man weak for being traditional?
