I Will Not Let You Go
Chuck Berry · Other Songs - Chuck Berry
You know I love you and I want you and I need you more and more
No, I can't, I just can't let you go
Lord knows we were born to be with each other and I ain't gonna let you go
We're s'posed to spend our lives together and I just can't let you go
Because I love you and I want you and I need you more and more
No, I can't darling, I just can't let you go
I know I love you in vain, little girl, but I still can't let you go
I'm tied to you with chains of love, but I just can't let you go
Because I love you and I want you and I need you more and more
No, I can't, I just can't let you go
(Somebody tell me)
How can my heart withstand so much pain
And still keep on beating and loving you in vain ?
Because I love you and I want you and I need you more and more
Lord, I just can't, I just can't let you go
(Well, that is why)
I will not, I will not let you go
Li'l darling, I will not, no, no, I will not, I will not let you go
Because I love you and I want you and I got to have you more and more
No, darling, I will not, I will not let you go
