Don't Let Me Go

Westlife · World Of Our Own [2001]

So much to say, but where do I start

Would you listen if I spoke from the heart

It's simple things that keep us apart

You know it doesn't have to be this way



Can't you hear it in my voice (Ooh, baby)

Gotta listen when I say



Don't let me go when I'm this low

Why can't we talk about it, why can't we figure it out

I wanna know, as people grow

How do they sort it all out, work out what love is about

So tell me now, yeah, I've gotta know

When this feeling I've got won't let go



Some people stop and some people stare

I'm hearing whispers that you no longer care

Should I stay, should I turn away

Stop playing games, now you know it's not fair, ooh, baby



Can't you hear it in my voice (Ooh, baby)

Gotta listen when I say



Don't let me go when I'm this low

Why can't we talk about it, why can't we figure it out

I wanna know, as people grow

How do they sort it all out, work out what love is about

So tell me now, yeah, I've gotta know

When this feeling I've got won't let go



You make me think I've got this feeling for you

I've tried so hard, won't you listen to me (Listen to me)

Cause we can make it, we can see this through

Let me start by telling you



Don't let me go when I'm this low

Why can't we talk about it, why can't we figure it out

I wanna know, as people grow

How do they sort it all out, work out what love is about



Don't let me go when I'm this low

Why can't we talk about it, why can't we figure it out

I wanna know, as people grow

How do they sort it all out, work out what love is about

So tell me now, yeah, I've gotta know

When this feeling I've got won't let go

So don't let me go
