Don't Let Go

Jerry Lee Lewis · Other Songs - Jerry Lee Lewis

Hear that whistle, it's ten o'clock

Come on, baby, it's time to rock

I'm so happy I got you here

Keeps me grinnin' for ear to ear



Oowee, this feelin's killin' me, ah, shucks

I wouldn't stop for a million bucks

I love you, so

Just hold me tight and don't let go



Thunder, lightning, wind and rain

Love is stormin' inside my brain

I'm so eager, I'm nearly dyin'

You've been keeping your lips from mine



Oowee, this feelin's killin' me



Hound dog barkin' up side the hill

Love is draggin' him through the mill

If it wasn't for havin' you

I'd be walkin' and-a howlin' too



Oowee, this feelin's killin' me



One day, baby, you'll get me yet

I'll be cryin' and soakin' wet

One thing, baby, I'll never stand

Your lips kissin' some other man



Oowee, this feelin's killin' me



Hold me tight and don't let go

Hold me, baby, and don't let go

Hold me tight and don't let go
