LYRICS
Instant Star Version
You got time if time is what you needed
You’re not mine I’d rather not believe you’re fine
Rather think you’re up all night
You’re alright you knew me when you met me
Let’s not fight I’m just a little feisty
Maybe, maybe I would lose my mind
I don’t wanna let you go away
I don’t wanna let you go, boy
I just wanted your love
I just need to feel your love
I just wanted your love
I don’t wanna let you go
You got steam, wheels are turning
It’s just me I’m crashing and I’m burning out
Shouldn’t we be making out?
You got guts, guts is what I need now
I don’t mind starting to believe it’s over
Tell her I loathe her
I don’t wanna let you go, boy (uh)
I just wanted your love
I just need to feel your love
I just wanted your love
I don’t wanna let you go (ha)
Letting you go, letting you go
Letting you go, letting you go
Letting you go, letting you go
Letting you go, yeah, yeah, boy
I don’t wanna let you go away
I don’t wanna let you go
I just wanted your love, feel your love
I just wanted your love
I don’t wanna let you go
(laugh)
