[Verse 1] Now the heat of love feels like it's starting to cool I hear the bells, but they don't ring the way they used to It's like breaking up is our next obvious move But let's not move too soon, oh, no See, the problem going 'round too often these days People throwing in the towel once they pa** the honeymoon phase A stronger love awaits if we endure this pain Or else we've been these years, cried these tears in vain (I'm saying) [Chorus] Don't let go (That's all I'm saying) Don't let go (Ooh, girl let's stop playing) Don't let go (Think of all the love we've been making) Don't let go (Don't let it go) [Verse 2] I've worked your patience, girl and you've been working my nerves We scream at each other, but we're not hearing one word We've made mistakes that neither one of us deserves Leaving much desired where I was concerned I saw an old man and his wife early today They were holding hands, his eyes locked in her gaze Think of all the times they came so close to parting ways In my mind, I could hear him say, "Stay, babe." Don't let go (I could hear him say) Don't let go (Don't throw the love away) Don't let go (Aren't we worth it, baby?) Don't let go (Don't let it go) [Chorus] [Bridge] With some other girl, I could move on Trading old problems just for new To some other guy, you could belong Going through changes we've been through When another brother is trying to make a play Don't you let go When another woman jumps in my face I will not let go When the honeymoon starts fading away I won't let go If we're gonna make it I want to hear you say I swear I won't let go. [Chorus]
