You and i
Are slipping to the end of the line once more
Tell me why
Is this time so much worse than the
Times before
Don't you think it hurts me, too?
You know that i've got my pride
When i think of losing you
There's nothin' left for me to decide
Chorus:
Don't wanna let go, baby
I don't wanna say good-bye
Don't wanna let go, darlin'
We've got to give it one more try
Here we are
Actin' like a couple of fools again
Come so far
Just think of all that we've got to lose
And then
If you wanna leave me now
You know where to find the door
But darlin', please believe me, now
Our love is still worth fighting for
Chorus:
Repeat chorus 1
Chorus 2:
Don't wanna let go, baby
We've got to hold on, keep our love alive
Don't wanna let go, darlin'
We've got to give it one more try
Oh --- one more try --- ooh...
Mmm --- you know what i'm trying to say
Let's not throw it all away
Leavin' what we've shared behind
'cause love is too hard to find
Chorus:
Repeat chorus 1
Chorus 3:
Don't wanna let go, baby
Now i don't wanna throw our love away
Don't wanna let go, darlin'
I keep holdin' on 'cause i need to hear you say
Repeat chorus 1 (...fade)
