[A]
[C#m] I just can't [D] let you go.
[E] Oh, no, [A] no, not my baby.
[C#m] [D]
[E] We were [A] only strangers in the [E] night.
[D] Getting to know each other, [A] the mood was right.
Strolling under [E] the moonlight, [D] hoping
that we [A] could get out of sight.
And while the [E] entertainer's singing his [D] song,
I hold a [A] feeling oh so strong.
Never thought [E] love would look me in the [D] eyes.
I licked my head, [A] what a big [C#m] surprise.
But there are people around who try [D] to take the love from me.
Now, now, [C#m] now, they don't seem to realize
that this [D] love was meant to be.
Only your love can [E] set me free.
I [A] think I won the [E] prize.
[D] From the very first [E] time I looked in your [A] eyes,
I knew love would [E] last forever.
[D] It's a blessing to be with [E] someone like [A] you.
Now the ladies [E] realize [D] I am no longer solo.
[E] Got you by my [A] side.
And this new love I [E] will treasure.
[D] I'll be faithful and [E] true every day I [A] die.
And when [E] people criticize, [D] we will hold on to love.
[E] You'll be our [A] guide.
And if I have to [E] do it over, [D] it would have to be you, girl.
I don't know [E] what else to [A] do.
No, no.
[C#m] I can't [D] let you go.
[E] Oh, no, [A] no, no, no, no, [C#m] baby.
No, [D] baby.
I can't let you walk [E] out my life.
No, no, [C#m] no, no.
[D] You go.
[E] No, no, [A] no, no, baby.
[C#m] [D]
[E] [C#m] Now they can't understand how could she be in love
[D] with someone like me.
[C#m] But they don't seem to realize that this love [D] was meant to be.
Only your love can [E] set me free.
We [A] were just strangers in the [E] night.
[D] Getting to know each [E] other, the mood was [A] right.

[A] And while the [E] entertainer's singing his [D] song,
I hold a [E] feeling oh so [A] strong.
I never thought love [E] would look me in the [D] eyes.
And if I ever [E] want to be [A] surprised,
I may have [E] won the prize.
[D] From the very first [E] time I looked in her [A] eyes,
I knew love would [E] last forever.
[D] It's a blessing to be with [E] someone like [A] you.
No, no, baby.
[C#m] [D] Can't let you go.
[E] Oh, [A] no, no, [C#m] no, no, no.
[D] I can't let you walk [E] out of my life.
[A] No, no, baby.
[C#m] [D] Can't let you go.
