I will not let you go, I will not let you go, I will not let you go

You know I love you and I want you and I need you more and more

No, I can't, I just can't let you go



Lord knows we were born to be with each other and I ain't gonna let you go

We're s'posed to spend our lives together and I just can't let you go

Because I love you and I want you and I need you more and more

No, I can't darling, I just can't let you go



I know I love you in vain, little girl, but I still can't let you go

I'm tied to you with chains of love, but I just can't let you go

Because I love you and I want you and I need you more and more

No, I can't, I just can't let you go



(Somebody tell me)

How can my heart withstand so much pain

And still keep on beating and loving you in vain ?

Because I love you and I want you and I need you more and more

Lord, I just can't, I just can't let you go



(Well, that is why)

I will not, I will not let you go

Li'l darling, I will not, no, no, I will not, I will not let you go

Because I love you and I want you and I got to have you more and more

No, darling, I will not, I will not let you go
