Lyrics

[Intro]

Whoa, whoa-oh

[Verse 1]

You made me happy

This you can bet

You stood right beside me, yeah

And I won't forget

[Chorus]

And I really love you

You should know

I wanna make sure I'm right, girl

Before I let go

[Verse 2]

Now we've had our good times

That's not the same, no

We're hurtin' each other

Girl, it's a shame

[Chorus]

I won't be foolish, no

I wanna know

I wanna make sure I'm right, girl, oh

Before I let go, yeah, uh

[Bridge]

You know I think the sun rises and shines on you

You know there's nothin', nothin', nothin' I would not do

Whoa, no

[Chorus]

Before I let you go

Oh

I would never, never, never, never, never, never, never

Never let you go before I go

[Verse 3]

We were so close

I love your charm, ooh

I can't understand it, no

Where did we go wrong?

[Chorus]

I won't be askin', girl

I've got to know

I gotta make sure I'm right

Before I let go, ha-ha

[PostChorus]

I wanna know

I wanna know

Oh-oh-oh-oh, now

I can't, I can't let you go, mmm

I can't let you go

'Cause I know

[Outro]

Ba, ba-ba

Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba

Come on, darlin'

Ba, ba-ba

Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba

Ba, ba-ba

I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know

Before I let you go, I gotta know (Ba, ba-ba)

Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba

Come on, girl

Ba, ba-ba

Come on

Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba

I can't let you—

Ba, ba-ba

Go, go, go, go, go, yeah (Ba-ba-ba, ba-ba)

Ba, ba-ba

I wanna know, know, I wanna know

Yeah, baby

Ba, ba-ba
