"Please Don't Let Me Go"
Olly Murs

Where do I begin
Should I tell you
How bad I need you now
You're underneath my skin
But I'm confused
My head is spinning all around
I waited so long
I need to know, darling
What is on your mind

(Chorus)

Normally I try to run
And I might even want to hide
'Cause I never knew what I wanted
Till I looked into your eyes
So am I in this alone
What I'm looking for is a sign
That you feel how I feel for you
Baby please don't let me go
No, please don't let me go

What else can I say
My heart is beating double time
And do you feel the same
Don't leave me in the dark, no
But baby don't put out this spark, no
I waited so long
I need to know darling
What is on your mind

(Chorus)

Caught in the inquisition
Under these conditions
I need a definition
Is it love that we're sharing
Show me that you're caring
You see my fascination
Tell me I'm not mistaken
Give me the information I need

(Chorus)
