Before I Let U Go Lyrics

Lyrics
Before I let u go, before I let u go
Can I get a kiss goodnight baby
Before I let u go, before I let u go
Can I get a kiss goodnight baby
Before I let u go, before I let u go
Can I get a kiss goodnight baby
Before I let u go, before I let u go
Can I get a kiss goodnight baby
Lately, I've been thinking
Something's goin' wrong
'Cause you got an attitude
And you're not in the mood like you used to
Girl, I can feel it
When I hold you in my arms
The feeling is not the same
Can I be the one to blame?
I don't wanna lose your love
I don't wanna say bye bye, oh no no
True love is so hard to find
And it's right between your legs and mine, and mine
Before I let go
Before I let u go away
Can I get a kiss goodnight
Before I let u go away
Can I get a kiss goodnight
Listen baby, turn the lights down low
Let's take it nice an' slow
My mission is to keep you mine
Don't want this to be the last time
We make sweet love baby
I know you feel it too
It's bigger than the both of us
There's one thing I'm so certain of
I don't wanna lose your love
(Don't wanna lose ya)
I don't wanna say bye bye
(Don't wanna lose ya)
It's always the little things
I remember and I can't just let it slip away, slip away
(Before)
Before I let u go away
(Baby I wanna know, I wanna know)
Can I get a kiss goodnight
(Before I go, I go, I go away)
Before I let u go away
(I just gotta know, can I have?)
Can I get a kiss goodnight
Teddy, won't you play the music for me
Teddy, won't you play Backstreet say?
(Don't wanna lose ya)
Baby, I get so lonely
Sometimes, I
(Don't wanna lose ya)
Baby my heart is broken sometimes
I need you right now, I don't
(Don't wanna lose ya)
I can't let you slip away, slip away
(Before I let go)
Before I let u go away
(Baby, can I be?)
Can I get a kiss goodnight
(I don't see it being a problem, if I just get one little bitty kiss, baby)
Before I let u go away
(I just can't let you get away)
Can I get a kiss goodnight
(Oh yeah, before I let u go)
Before I let u go, before I let u go
(Lord have mercy)
Can I get a kiss goodnight baby
(See I wanna know)
Before I let u go, before I let u go
Can I get a kiss goodnight baby
(I've gotta have one kiss, couldn't I?)
Before I let u go, before I let u go
Can I get a kiss goodnight baby
(Don't say bye bye, please)
Before I let u go, before I let u go
Can I get a kiss goodnight baby
I don't want lose your sweet love
So don't say good-bye, say goodnight
