Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I don't wanna let it go
Baby I just want you to know
That I love you so
I just wanna hold you
But if you wanna leave then I'll let ya baby
You know how I've tried to forget ya
Only love's gotta hold of my mind
Taking all of my time with you
I feel your skin next to me
I can hardly believe you're true
Don't say you love me if you don't care
But if you need me honey I'll be there
I'll always be there 'cause
Love's gotta hold of me love won't let go of me
Love's gotta hold on me
If I could wake with you every morning
See the sun shining in your eyes
I'd be so happy everyday
'cause you're here to stay
Like back in the old days
But if you wanna leave then I'll let ya baby
You know how I've tried to forget ya
Love's gotta hold of my mind
Taking all of my time with you
I feel your skin next to me
I can hardly believe you're true
Repeat to fade

Here comes that same old feeling again
I'm experiencing the same feeling of love that I have felt before
And I don't wanna let it go
I am not willing to let go of this feeling
Baby I just want you to know
I want you to know about my love for you
That I love you so
I have intense feelings of love for you
I just wanna hold you
I wish to hold you in my arms
But if you wanna leave then I'll let ya baby
If you wish to leave, I'll let you go
You know how I've tried to forget ya
I have tried to forget you in the past
Only love's gotta hold of my mind
I am completely consumed by feelings of love
Taking all of my time with you
All of my time is devoted to being with you
I feel your skin next to me
I feel your skin next to mine
I can hardly believe you're true
It's hard to believe that you're real
Don't say you love me if you don't care
Do not express love if you don't truly mean it
But if you need me honey I'll be there
If you need me, I am here for you
I'll always be there 'cause
I will always be there for you because
Love's gotta hold of me love won't let go of me
I am held tightly by love and cannot let go
Love's gotta hold on me
Love has a firm grip on me
If I could wake with you every morning
It would be my desire to wake up with you every day
See the sun shining in your eyes
To see the sun reflecting off of your eyes
I'd be so happy everyday
I would be happy every single day
'cause you're here to stay
Because you'll always be here with me
Like back in the old days
Like it used to be in the past
But if you wanna leave then I'll let ya baby
If you want to leave, I will let you go
You know how I've tried to forget ya
I have tried to forget you in the past
Love's gotta hold of my mind
I am completely consumed by feelings of love
Taking all of my time with you
All of my time is devoted to being with you
I feel your skin next to me
I feel your skin next to mine
I can hardly believe you're true
It's hard to believe that you're real
