I can′t set you free, no

And the wheels just turn and turn, you see

'Til they grind me to stoneAll the promises you can never keep just keep me awake

′Cause I can't be the way you wanted

And I know that your hands don't wanna hold me more

And your eyes don′t wanna see, no

It is like the needle from, the needle from the spoon

I just need it from you, need it from you

Can′t let you leave, no

Won't let you leave, da-darling

You took it all

And just in case, you took a little more, no lie

Can′t let you go

Can't let you go, no-no, no

Can′t breathe, can't sleep, can′t eat

Can't live without you here

Baby, I can't let you leave

(Can′t breathe, can′t sleep, can't eat)

(Can′t live without you here)

Don't take my dignity, child

′Cause it's taking all my strength to keep

God willing this time, I gotta rein you in

′Cause you don't understand

How you're hurting me bad

And you don′t know the fire you started

And you don′t see the heat that's rising higher

I′m tired of trying, iIm out of my mind, oh

It's like the needle from, the needle from the spoon

I just need it from you, need it from you

Can′t let you leave, no

Won't let you leave, da-darling

You took it all

And just in case, you took a little more, no lie

Can′t let you go

Can't let you go, no-no, no

Can't breathe, can′t sleep, can′t eat

Can't live without you here

Baby, I can′t let you leave

(Can't breathe, can′t sleep, can't eat)

(Can′t live without you here)

Baby, I can't let you leave

(Nothing I won't give to hold you here)

(I would never harm you)

(Don′t ever let me go)

Can′t let you leave, no

Won't let you leave, da-darling

You took it all

And just in case, you took a little more, no lie

Can′t let you go

Can't let you go, no no, no

Can′t breathe, can't sleep, can′t eat

Can't live without you here

Baby, I can't let you leave

(Can′t breathe, can′t sleep, can't eat)

(Can′t live without you here)
