Track Lyrics

VERSE 1

MY HEART STARTS BREAKING
WHEN I THINK OF MAKING UP
PLANS TO LET YOU GO
I KEEP THINKING MAYBE TOMORROW
I'M GONNA LET YOU KNOW
BUT WHEN I THINK ABOUT LEAVING
I THINK ABOUT LOSING
THE ONLY LOVE I EVER KNEW
EVERY TIME I THINK OF YOU

BRIDGE

MY HEART STARTS ACHING
MY HANDS KEEP SHAKING
AND YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW

CHORUS

IT WOULD TAKE A STRONG, STRONG MAN
TO EVER LET YOU GO (TO EVER LET YOU GO)
TO EVER LET YOU GO

VERSE 2

MY HEART'S BEEN HURTING
WHEN I SEE YOU FLIRTING
EVERY NIGHT OUT ON THE FLOOR
I KEEP THINKING MAYBE TOMORROW
YOU'LL GROW TO LOVE ME MORE
BUT WHENEVER WE'RE TOGETHER
I COULD LEAVE YOU NEVER
EVEN THOUGH YOU TREAT ME CRUEL
EVERY TIME I LOOK AT YOU

BRIDGE

MY HEART STARTS ACHING
MY HANDS KEEP SHAKING
AND YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW

CHORUS

IT WOULD TAKE A STRONG, STRONG MAN
TO EVER LET YOU GO (TO EVER LET YOU GO)
TO EVER LET YOU GO

MIDDLE 8

I TRIED TO RESIST YOU
WHEN YOU'RE GONE, ALL I EVER DO IS MISS YOU
ANYONE IN LOVE WOULD KNOW
ANYONE WITH HALF A HEART
COULD NEVER LET YOU GO

VERSE 3

INSTRUMENTAL
BUT WHEN I THINK ABOUT LEAVING
I THINK ABOUT LOSING
THE ONLY GIRL I EVER LOVED
CAN'T YOU TELL ME WHY DO YOU HURT ME
I GUESS SOME PEOPLE NEVER SEE
ESPECIALLY A FOOL LIKE ME

BRIDGE

MY HEART STARTS ACHING
MY HANDS KEEP SHAKING
AND YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW

CHORUS

IT WOULD TAKE A STRONG, STRONG MAN
TO EVER LET YOU GO
TO EVER LET YOU GO (TO EVER LET YOU GO)
I'LL NEVER LET YOU GO
