Oh, yes, it must be! You are right! I remember some people saying (not native speakers) that it could be toilet paper or comics. But the context...

Are you sure it`s "come on and work it on out"? Maybe, "come on and work it ALL out"? Which means - find a result, a solution to something, or - to exercise to become fit (less likely). That makes sense. I will listen to it carefully tomorrow or just check the lyrics.

To call on smb means to drop in on smb, to visit smb, and never to phone smb. To call on smb to do smth means to ask smb, to urge smb to do smth. I think so.

I always thought it was 'feels so right now'

You really got a hold on me I think was just another way of saying 'i love you.' Its like, the person is dependent on that particular person, they feel that they need them - You really got a hold on me, I love you and I need you and dont go and so on and so on.

IMO -

"Leave you flat" -- I'll leave you all alone, and you will be sad, and I don't care.

"Green" - envious.

"You Really Gotta Hold On Me" - I can't get you out of my head.


I love John,
I love Paul,
And George and Ringo,
I love them all!
