I Can't Let Go

Sloan · The Party Album

Oh, I try and I try

But I can't say goodbye

Feel so bad, baby, oh, it hurts me

When I think of how you love and desert me

I'm the broken-hearted soul you play with

Baby, baby

(Baby, baby)

You got me going, I need you, baby

I can't let go and I want you, baby

I gotta have you know

I can't let go

Though I'm just one of your lovers

And I know that there are so many others

You do something strange to me

Baby, baby

(Baby, baby)

You got me going, I need you, baby

I can't let go and I want you, baby

I gotta have you know

I can't let go

I try and I try

But I can't say goodbye

I know that it's wrong

And I should be so strong

But the thought of you gone

Makes me want to hold on

You got me going, I need you, baby

I can't let go and I want you, baby

I gotta have you know

I can't let go

You got me going, I need you, baby

I can't let go and I want you, baby

I gotta have you know

I can't let go

I can't let go

I can't let go

I can't let go

...
