till the boat sails away/ i don t want to lose you

The Supremes

I don't want to leave you this way
I don't want to lead you this way
Oh, I love you so, don't want to let you go
You mean more to me than just my man
Understand

So hold me back until the boat sails away
Hold me, I really want to stay
(really want to stay, really want to stay)

Yesterday's sweet wine
Upon your lips still taste fine
Memories of a love you and I made
Just yesterday

So hold me back until the boat sails away
Hold me, I really want to stay
(really want to stay, really want to stay)

INTERLUDE

Oh, I love you so
Don't want to let, let you go
You mean more to me than life is send
Above all ends

So hold me back until the boat sails away
Hold me, I really want to stay
(really want to stay)
I really want to stay (really want to stay)
Please, let me stay


Who do you think you are?
Who do you gonna be?
You're the only one that really knows
Maybe you'll be surprised
After your search is through
Then you'll find you've just been chasing you
Believe me I understand
The visions of your mind
But I'm so afraid that the man you find
May not need a girl like me

I don't wanna lose you
I love you as you are
I don't wanna lose you
I couldn't love you more
Tell me love will remain
Though we may change

I really think that you
Have a little faith in me
You're the only one I'll ever need
If you really understood
How much you mean to me
All your doubts would fade and disappear
Maybe you'll never find
The secrets of your mind
But you gotta try gotta realize
And I'll help you all I can

I don't wanna lose you
I love you as you are
I don't wanna lose you
I couldn't love you more
Tell me love will remain
Though we may change

(Ad libbing)

Maybe you'll never find
The secrets of your mind
But you gotta try
Gotta realize
And I'll help you all I can

I don't wanna lose you
I love you as you are
I don't wanna lose you
I couldn't love you more
Tell me love will remain
Though we may change
(repeat until fade)
