Don't Let Go
Kianja Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Free your body and free your body and
Free your body and your mind
(yeah, yeah, yeah)

What's it gonna be 'cause I can't pretend?
Don't you wanna be more than friends?
Hold me tight and don't let go (Don't let go)
You have the right to lose control
(Don't let go)

I often tell myself that we could be
More than just friends
I know you think that if we move too soon
It would all end
I live in misery when you're not around
And I won't be satisfied 'til
We're taking those vows

There'll be some love making, heartbreaking
Soul shaking love
Love making, heartbreaking, soul shaking

What's it gonna be 'cause I can't pretend?
Don't you wanna be more than friends?
Hold me tight and don't let go (Don't let go)
You have the right to lose control
(Don't let go)
(Now wait a minute, now wait a minute)

I often fantasize the stars
Above are watching you
They know my heart and speak to
Yours like lovers only do
If I could wear your clothes
I'd pretend I was you
(yeah, yeah, yeah) And lose control

There'll be some love making, heartbreaking
Soul shaking love
Love making, heartbreaking, soul shaking

What's it gonna be 'cause I can't pretend?
Don't you wanna be more than friends?
Hold me tight and don't let go (Don't let go)
You have the right to lose control
(Don't let go)
(Now wait a minute, now wait a minute)

Baby, don't let go, I had you from the get go
I don't really wanna play no foolish game
Baby, don't let go, I had you from the get go
I know that you know me and you know my name
Come, baby, here, it's me and you
It's you and I
The way you move, girl, come be mine
Come, baby, here, it's me and you
It's you and I
The way you move, girl, come be mine

Running in and out my life, yeah
It's got me so confused
You gotta make the sacrifice, yeah
Somebody's got to choose
And we can make it if we try
For the sake of you and I
Together, we can make it right

What's it gonna be 'cause I can't pretend?
(Oh no)
Don't you wanna be more than friends?
(Don't you wanna be more than friends? yeah)
Hold me tight and don't let go (Don't let go)
You have the right to lose control
(Don't let go)





Now, now wait a minute, now wait a minute
