Don't Let Go

[Verse 1:]

Now the heat of love feels like it's starting to cool

I hear the bells, but they don't ring the way they used to

It's like breaking up is our next obvious move

But let's not move too soon, oh, no

See, the problem going 'round too often these days

People throwing in the towel once they pass the honeymoon phase

A stronger love awaits if we endure this pain

Or else we've been these years, cried these tears in vain (I'm saying...)

[Chorus:]

Don't let go (That's all I'm saying)

Don't let go (Ooh, girl let's stop playing)

Don't let go (Think of all the love we've been making.)

Don't let go (Don't let it go)

[Verse 2:]

I've worked your patience,

girl and you've been working my nerves

We scream at each other, but we're not hearing one word

We've made mistakes that neither one of us deserves

Leaving much desired where I was concerned

I saw an old man and his wife early today

They were holding hands, his eyes locked in her gaze

Think of all the times they came so close to parting ways

In my mind, I could hear him say, "Stay, babe."

[Chorus:]

Don't let go (I could hear him say.)

Don't let go (Don't throw the love away.)

Don't let go (Aren't we worth it, baby?)

Don't let go (Don't let it go)

Don't let go (That's all I'm saying)

Don't let go (Ooh, girl let's stop playing)

Don't let go (Think of all the love we've been making.)

Don't let go (Don't let it go)

[Bridge:]

With some other girl, I could move on

Trading old problems just for new

To some other guy, you could belong

Going through changes we've been through

When another brother is trying to make a play

Don't you let go

When another woman jumps in my face

I will not let go

When the honeymoon starts fading away

I won't let go

If we're gonna make it I want to hear you say

I swear I won't let go.

Don't let go (That's all I'm saying)

Don't let go (Ooh, girl let's stop playing)

Don't let go (Think of all the love we've been making.)

Don't let go (Don't let it go)
