Never Gonna Let You Go
Sergio Mendes Feat. Joe Pizzulo And Leza Miller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To let you get away from me
I'll regret that move
For as long as I'm livin'
But now that I've come to see the light
All I want to do is make things right
So just say the word
You and me
We're gonna be better than we were before
I loved you then but now I intend
To open up and love you even more
This time you can be sure
I'm never gonna let you go
I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up for all the times
I hurt you so
Gonna hold your body close to mine
From this day on we're gonna be together
Oh I swear this time
I'm never gonna let you go
Looking back now
It seems so clear
I had it all when you were here
Oh you gave it all
And I took it for granted
But if there's some feeling left in you
Some flickers of love
That still shines through
Let's talk it out
Let's talk about second chances
Wait and see
It's gonna be sweeter than it was before
I gave some then but now I intend
To dedicate myself to giving more
This time you can be sure
I'm never gonna let you go
I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up for all the times
I hurt you so
Gonna hold your body close to mine
From this day on we're gonna be together
Oh I swear this time
I'm never gonna let you go
Oh, so if you'll just say
You want me too
I'm never gonna let you go
I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up for all the times
I hurt you so
Gonna hold your body close to mine
From this day on we're gonna be together
Oh I swear this time
I'm never gonna let you go
Never gonna let you go
Hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up for all the times
I hurt you so
Hold your body close to mine
Oh we're gonna be together
Oh I swear this time
I'm never gonna let you go

You were everything to me
Oh you gave it all
You gave me your heart
And I took it for granted

If you still have feelings for me
Some flickers of love
Any amount of love
That still shines through
That is still present
Let's talk it out
Let's communicate and work on us
Let's talk about second chances
Let's work towards a fresh start
Wait and see
Our future can be brighter
It's gonna be sweeter than it was before
Our relationship can be happier
I gave some then but now I intend
I was loving before, but now I want to be better
To dedicate myself to giving more
To show you just how much I care
Oh we're gonna be together
Our future is together
Oh, so if you'll just say
If you forgive me and give me another chance
You want me too
You feel the same way
