Isaac Hayes: Don’t Let Go

Hear that whistle its 10 o’clock
(Don’t let go)
(Don’t let go)
Come on baby it’s time to rock
(Don’t let go)
(Don’t let go)
I’m so glad I’ve got you here
(Don’t let go)
(Don’t let go)
Keeps me grinnin’ from ear to ear
(Don’t let go)
(Don’t let go)

Oo-ee, mmm this feelin’ is killin’ me
Aaaw shucks
Well, I wouldn’t stop for a million bucks
(I love you so)
Just hold me tight and don’t let go

Thunder, lightnin’, wind and rain
(Don’t let go)
(Don’t let go)
Love is formin’ inside my brain
(Don’t let go)
(Don’t let go)
I’m so eager I’m nearly dyin’
(Don’t let go)
(Don’t let go)
You’ve been keepin’ your lips from mine
(Don’t let go)
(Don’t let go)

Oo-ee, mmm this feelin’ is killin’ me
Aaaw shucks
Well, I wouldn’t stop for a million bucks
(I love you so)
Just hold me tight and don’t let go, yeah
Whooooa, yeah
Don’t let go
Come on and kiss me, kiss me sweet
Hold me tight baby and don’t let go
(Don’t let go)
Come on and love me
You’ve gotta love me
(Don’t let go)
I want ya, I want ya, I really, really want ya
(Don’t let go)
All night, feels so right
(Don’t let go)
Hold me tight, don’t let go

[Instrumental Interlude]

Hound dogs barkin’ upside the hill
(Don’t let go)
(Don’t let go)
Love is draggin’ him through the mill
(Don’t let go)
(Don’t let go)
If it wasn’t for havin’ you, girl
(Don’t let go)
(Don’t let go)
I’d be a-howlin’ and a-barkin’ too
(Don’t let go)
(Don’t let go)

Ooh-ee, mmm this feelin’ is killin’ me
Aaaw shucks
Well, I wouldn’t stop for a million bucks
(I love you so)
Just hold me tight and don’t let go, no
No, no don’t let go
I need ya so, girl
Hold me, momma
(Hold me tight if it takes all night)
(But don’t let go)
Don’t, don’t let me go
(I wouldn’t stop for a million bucks)
(‘Cause I love you so)
No, no, no I love you so, yeah

Isaac Hayes: Walk On By

If you see me walking down the street
And I start to cry each time we meet
Walk on by, walk on by
Make believe that you don’t see the tears
Oh just let me grieve
In private ’cause each time I see you
I break down and cry
Oh baby, walk on by

Mmm
I just can’t get over losing you
So if I seem broken in two
Please walk on by, walk on by
Foolish pride is all that I have left
So let me hide
The tears and the sadness you gave me
You put the hurt on
You socked it to me, momma
When you said goodbye
So please walk on by
Make believe you never see the tears I cry
So do me a favor and walk on by
So I’m beggin’ you to walk on by

Oh yeah
Make believe you never see the tears I cry
So I’m beggin’ you, I’m beggin’ you to walk on by
Make believe you never see the tears I cry
Oh, there’s no dirt in my eye
Oh no
Smoking don’t you me cry no no no (???)
It’s the hurt you put on me, yeah
I don’t want you to see this man cry
So please walk on by
Oh mother, mother, walk on by
