Let Go 04:35
Five in the mornin' I'm laying here with you I could really stay here all night Cause we just finished making love But you and I've got work at nine I swear that you've become my new addiction With you I spend all my money and time (But you're worth it baby) (Your love is amazing baby) I don't wanna let go I don't wanna let this feeling go I don't wanna let this feeling go For once in my life, it all makes sense The stars were aligned When I (I dreamed of your presence) Now that you are here and you're all mine The time that we spend it brings sentiment to my life Right now my body is subdued by you And your body’s mesmerized by mine (As we hold on to this moment) I don't wanna let go I don't wanna let this feeling go I don't wanna let this feeling go I don't wanna let this feeling go I don't wanna let this feeling go I don't wanna let this feeling go I don't wanna let this feeling go You just go here I don't wanna lose In this game I'm playing with you Boys be lyin' You might be the truth On another level you're taking me to Let’s get lost in the moment If I could capture this moment (Then I would just rewind us) Then I would just rewind us
