Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'll Neva let you go
There's sum thing you need to know
You
Got a special hold on me
Yea
You ain't mine
But you know
It's just that special feeling that I get when im round you
The same one you get
You ain't say that
But you know
Your eyes did
She said hold me
I said I'll Neva let go
She said hold me
I said I'll Neva let go
Ima hold you
You got the key to my soul
I love you
And that you should you know
Okay, I know dat you ain't mine, and I ain't yours
But the love I got for you, can't put In word
And. I know that its going to happen when its time
Or at least that's what we say to ease our minds
Uhh
But while I got you I'm holding you close
So when im away ima send you a note
Wait on the wave ill send you the boat
Wait on the wave ill send you the boat
You got a bae, but really you don't
You wanna escape, you know where to go
You wanna play, you wanna stay home
Fuck'n with me its whatever you want
I just think dat we need time
To explore one another, and see what we find
Its a reason that you and lil homie got ties
If you in a situation that fine
I won't make you, make up your mind
No pressure
She said hold me
I said I'll neva let go
She said hold me
I said I'll Neva let go
Ima hold you
You got the key to my soul
I love you
And that you should you know
Aint nobody hold'n you closer
Aint nobody pull'n you deeper
I got a way with my mouth
Ways of make'n you weaker
You have'n problems with him
Come where da grass is greener
We light a fire together
I'm already blow'n that Gasolina Mira
He want to argue with you everyday
Real talk I just want to take you away
I aint gone say we won't disagree
Just know im gon give you yo space
I want to you hold by your waist
Take sum pictures by dat lake
Watch my sweat drip down your face
But its something in our way
So every moment that we spend
Got to treat it like its the end
She say you overly dramatic
But really this is how it happened
She said hold me
I said I'll Neva let go
She said hold me
I said I'll Neva let go
Ima hold you
You got the key to my soul
I love you




And that you should you know
Ooo yea

"Its funny when people always bring up Sheila E. Songs, people tend to forget this one. It's always about "Love Bizarre" and the "Glamarous Life"..., and to me, this was her best hit...Definitely heart felt and well composed!!

Kenney Mccall

This song along with "Love On A Blue Train" were the best tracks on this very underrated LP. This cut right here has 80's "Quiet Storm" written all over it. Peace.
