So there's somewhere you gotta be
Well, I sure hate to see you leave
I'll break my grip but babe you need to know

Next time I might not let you go

[Chorus:]

I know what you said
And I wanted that too
But takin' it slow is gettin' harder to do

It's feelin' more and more like forever
Holdin' you close
And next time I might not let you go


Good thing I don't get paid to think
'Cause I sure thought I had the strength

To fight love off, but my resistance is runnin' low
And next time I might not let you go


[Repeat Chorus]

Yeah next time I just might

Hold on for dear life

Yeah, next time I might not let you go

Next time I might not let you go

So, there's somewhere you gotta be

Well, I sure hate to see you leave
