Don't let go Don't let go
Come on baby it's time to rock
Don't let go Don't let go
I'm so happy I got you here
Don't let go Don't let go
Keeps me grinnin' from ear to ear
Don't let go Don't let go
Ah shucks I wouldn't stop for a million bucks
I love you so Just hold me tight
Don't let go!
Thunder lightening wind and rain
Don't let go Don't let go
Love is stormin' inside my brain
Don't let go Don't let go
I'm so eager I'm nearly dyin'
Don't let go Don't let go
You've been keepin' your lips from mine
Oo-wee This feelin's killin' me
Ah shucks I wouldn't stop for a million bucks
I love you so Just hold me tight
Don't let go!
Hound dog barkin' up side the hill
Don't let go Don't let go
Love is draggin' him thru the mill
Don't let go Don't let go
If it wasn't for havin' you
Don't let go Don't let go
I'd be barkin' and howlin' too
Oo-wee This feelin's killin' me
Ah shucks I wouldn't stop for a million bucks
I love you so Just hold me tight
Don't let go!
One day baby you'll quit me yet
Don't let go Don't let go
I'll be cryin' and soakin' wet
Don't let go Don't let go
One thing baby I'll never stand
Don't let go Don't let go
Your lips kissin' some other man
Oo-wee This feelin's killin' me
Ah shucks I wouldn't stop for a million bucks
I love you so Just hold me tight
Don't let go!
Just hold me tight Don't let go!

Hear that whistle it's ten o'clock
It's time to get ready for a night of dancing and fun
Don't let go Don't let go
Stay close to me, don't leave my side
Come on baby it's time to rock
Let's dance and enjoy the music together
I'm so happy I got you here
I feel lucky to have you as my partner tonight
Keeps me grinnin' from ear to ear
You make me so happy, my face hurts from smiling
Oo-wee This feelin's killin' me
This feeling of joy and love is overwhelming
Ah shucks I wouldn't stop for a million bucks
I am having so much fun that no amount of money could make me leave
I love you so Just hold me tight
I care about you deeply and want to feel close to you
Thunder lightening wind and rain
The storm outside matches the intensity of my feelings for you
Love is stormin' inside my brain
I am consumed with love for you and can't stop thinking about you
I'm so eager I'm nearly dyin'
I am impatient to be with you and can barely contain my excitement
You've been keepin' your lips from mine
I want to kiss you, but you've been holding back
Hound dog barkin' up side the hill
Even the dog senses the love in the air
Love is draggin' him thru the mill
Love has its way of affecting everyone, even animals
If it wasn't for havin' you
Without you, I would be lost and lonely
I'd be barkin' and howlin' too
I would be as distraught as the dog if I didn't have you
One day baby you'll quit me yet
I worry that one day you'll leave me
I'll be cryin' and soakin' wet
Your departure would bring me to tears
One thing baby I'll never stand
I can't handle the thought of you being with someone else
Your lips kissin' some other man
The idea of you being romantic with someone else fills me with dread
Just hold me tight Don't let go!
Please continue to stay near me, I need your love and affection
