(Huh) I can't turn you loose now
If I do I'm gonna loose my life
(Ooh) I can't turn you loose now
If I do I'm gonna loose my life
I can't turn you loose to nobody
I love you baby, yes I do
Give shakin' mama, I told ya
I'm in love with only you
(Gotta) baby, do it baby why don't ya
I'll give ya everything you want
Gotta, gotta
Keep on holdin' on
Never gonna turn you loose
I can't turn you loose
Gotta, gotta, keep on holdin' on
I can't turn you loose now
I'm in love with the prettiest thing
I never, never turn you loose now
Because of all the sweet love she brings
I can't turn you loose to nobody
I love you baby, yes I do
Give shaking mama
I told ya I'm in love with only you
Gotta, do it baby why don't ya
I'll give ya everything you want
Gotta, gotta
Keep on holdin' on
Never gonna turn you loose
I can't turn you loose
Gotta keep a grip on you
Gotta, gotta keep on holdin' on
