Never Gonna Let You Go Lyrics

I don't wanna let you go
I don't wanna let you go
No
No

I don't wanna let you go
I don't wanna let you go
No
No

Baby I don't wanna break your legs
But I do what I gotta just to make you stay
And I id hunt ya down you ever run'd away from me

I got a pocket full of medicines
And a a closet big enough to hide you in
So come on baby won't you come
I'm gonna count to three

'Cause
I don't wanna let you go
I don't wanna let you go
No
No

I don't wanna let you go
I don't wanna let you go
No
No
So who's that lady I just saw you with
You say it was your sister but your full of shit
And I I won't hear another word of it this time
Not this time
So let me tell you what we gonna do
Be true to me baby ill be true to you
Think fast player cause your life is on the line
And I don't wanna let you go
'Cause
I don't wanna let you go
I don't wanna let you go
No
No

I don't wanna let you go
I don't wanna let you go
No
No

Is there a problem, did I hear you right
You say your handcuffs are a little tight
What's wrong now, man you used to love this game

You should have listened when I told you to treat me right
Now you'd be lucky if you make it through the night
All this work for nothing baby can't you see

Wrap your heart up in my fragile state of mind
Didn't have to end this way but you told a lie
And I don't wanna let you
Go

I don't wanna let you go
I don't wanna let you go
No
No
I don't wanna let you go
I don't wanna let you go
No
No

I don't wanna let you go
I don't wanna let you go
No
No

I don't wanna let you go
I don't wanna let you go
No
No

Oh!
