Don't Let Me Go
Westlife · World Of Our Own [2001]
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
