About I Won't Let You Go

"I Won't Let You Go" is the first single from Agnetha Fältskog's second English solo-album Eyes of a Woman. The song was composed by Fältskog with lyrics by producer Eric Stewart, formerly of the group 10cc. The track reached the Top 10 in Sweden and Belgium, but due to the lack of promotion, "I Won't Let You Go" proved unsuccessful in Britain, where it peaked at #84. The B-side of the single, "You're There", was also written by Fältskog and was the last song written by her to be released until the song, "I Keep Them On The Floor Beside My Bed" which was the closing track on her 2013 album, A. In some countries a 12" single was released that featured an extended-remix instead of the album-version.

Some girls want to play with you
Doing things that they really can't do
They think that love is a game to play
They oughta know that I get my way.

They look at you with starry eyes
Very soon they all realize
Play with fire and your fingers burn
I wanna tell them, they never learn.

I won't let you go, no no no
I'll never let go, oh baby you know
There's a special kind of love
There's something magic when we touch.

I won't let you go, no no no
I'll never let go, I just couldn't hide
All the love I feel inside
I want you with me, by my side,
By my side.

I never dreamed I would stay with you
Just one look, and I knew you were true
One more day and I woke up to find
I couldn't think, you were on my mind.

I can't believe those other guys
Hanging round with that look in their eyes
They'll never know what I get from you
I wanna tell them, I never do.

I won't let you go, no no no
I'll never let go, oh baby you know
There's a special kind of love
There's something magic when we touch.

I won't let you go, no no no
I'll never let go, I just couldn't hide
All the love I feel inside
I want you with me, by my side,
By my side, by my side, by my side.

Play with fire and your fingers burn
I wanna tell them, they never learn.

I won't let you go, no no no
I'll never let go, oh baby you know
There's a special kind of love
There's something magic when we touch.

I won't let you go, no no no
I'll never let go, I just couldn't hide
All the love I feel inside
I want you with me, by my side
I won't let you go
