Never Gonna Let You Go

About Never Gonna Let You Go

"Never Gonna Let You Go" is a popular song from 1983 credited to Brazilian musician and bandleader Sérgio Mendes and sung by Joe Pizzulo and Leeza Miller. Songwriters Cynthia Weil (lyrics) and Barry Mann (music) composed the song, which appears on Mendes' 1983 self-titled album. Weil and Mann originally submitted "Never Gonna Let You Go" to American funk band Earth, Wind & Fire, but they decided not to record the song. Dionne Warwick recorded the song on her 1982 album Friends in Love. Stevie Woods had also recorded the song for his 1982 album The Woman in My Life. Mendes, preparing for the release of his 1983 album, was quoted as saying, "All the other songs on the album were up and festive. I needed a ballad on the album, just to change the pace a bit." Mendes' version was a hit, matching the No. 4 peak of his previous best showing on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, "The Look of Love", in 1968. It spent four weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and peaked at No. 28 on the Billboard R&B chart. more »

I was as wrong as I could be
To let you get away from me
I'll regret that move for as long as I'm living

But now that I've come to see the light
All I wanna do is make things right
So just say the word and tell me that I'm forgiven

You and me, we're gonna be better than we were before
Loved you then but now I intend
To open up and love you even more
This time you can be sure

I'm never gonna let you go
I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up for all the times I hurt you so

Gonna hold your body close to mine
From this day on we're gonna be together
Oh, I swear this time I'm never gonna let you go

Looking back now, it seems so clear
I had it all when you were here
Oh, you gave it all and I took it for granted

But if there's some feeling left in you
Some flicker of love that still shines through
Let's talk it out, let's talk about second chances

Wait and see, it's gonna be sweeter than it was before
I gave some then but now I intend
To dedicate myself to giving more
This time you can be sure

I'm never gonna let you go
I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up for all the times I hurt you so

Gonna hold your body close to mine
From this day on we're gonna be together
Oh, I swear this time I'm never gonna let you go

Ooh oh, oh ooh
So if you'll just say you want me too

I'm never gonna let you go
I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up for all the times I hurt you so

Gonna hold your body close to mine
From this day on we're gonna be together
Oh, I swear this time I'm never gonna let you go

Never gonna let you go
Hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up for all the times I hurt you so

Hold your body close to mine
From this day on we're gonna be together
Oh, I swear this time I'm never gonna let you go
