[Chorus]
Never gonna let you go (Let you go)
'Cause you're my baby
Worth more than a million in gold (I'm telling you, boy)
Now that I've got you back
I'll never let you go (Let you go)
Won't be a fool anymore
[Verse 1]
The time has come for me to open my eyes
Blinded from when I let you go, boy
Now I see a new light
I got you back in my life
Oh, yeah

Won't be a fool anymore

You are the one
That brings joy to my life
I'm sprung so strong
I've got the strength to go on
Now I have some energy
Now, my man is here with me
Ooh, yeah

Never gonna let you go (Let you go)
'Cause you're my baby
Worth more than a million in gold (I'm telling you, boy)
