Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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!
In Lynne Jeff's song Don't Let Go, the singer is urging their lover to stay close and not let go. The song opens with the sound of a train whistle, signaling that it's time to rock. The singer expresses their happiness and how their partner keeps them grinning from ear to ear. The feeling of love is so overwhelming that the singer wouldn't stop for a million bucks. The chorus repeatedly emphasizes the importance of not letting go and holding each other tight.
The second verse continues with the metaphor of a storm brewing inside the singer's brain. They're eager to be with their partner, who has been keeping their lips from theirs. This verse also mentions a hound dog barking up a hill and how love is dragging him through the mill. This is likely a reference to the struggles the singer and their partner may face but emphasizes that they can withstand anything as long as they stay together.
The final verse is more somber as the singer acknowledges the possibility of their partner leaving and how they would be left heartbroken. The singer can't imagine their lover's lips on someone else, and this fear only strengthens their desire to hold on tight.
Overall, Don't Let Go is a classic love song about the importance of staying close and not giving up on love. It's a reminder that love can weather any storm as long as both partners hold on tight.

Just hold me tight, Don't let go!
Please, stay with me and hold me close. Don't let go of our love.

Can you please remaster The Bouncer by ELO? It was a reject from Time and is one of my favorite songs ever. Thanks!
Evan Brizendine
@The Bug Club Great to hear! Didn't know time was supposed to be a double album, cool!
The Bug Club
We are planning on eventually revisiting Time, and when we do, we'll give The Bouncer a shot! 😄
(Also, it wasn't so much a reject as it was a leftover of the album's original 2LP form!)
