So there's somewhere you gotta be

Well, I sure hate to see you leave

I'll break my grip but babe you need to know

Next time I might not let you go.

[Chorus]

I know what you said

And I wanted that too

But takin' it slow is gettin' harder to do

It's feelin' more and more like forever

Holdin' you close

And next time I might not let you go.

Good thing I don't get paid to think

'cause I sure thought I had the strength

To fight love off, but my resistance is runnin' low

And next time I might not let you go.

[Repeat chorus]

I know what you said

And I wanted that too

But takin' it slow is gettin' harder to do

It's feelin' more and more like forever

Holdin' you close

And next time I might not let you go.

Yeah next time I just might

Hold on for dear life.

Yeah, next time I might not let you go

Next time I might not let you go.

So, there's somewhere you gotta be

Well, I sure hate to see you leave.
