I Never Wanted To Let You Go

I used to say that I love you.
I used to say that my love was true.
I used to say that I need you.
I never said that our love was through.

So I packed up my bags, and I left you.
You thought my love was so untrue.
I packed up my bags, and I left you.
You knew I was leaving.
You must of known, where I was going to.
'Case just after I left you.
I got a call on the telephone.
Here's what I said to you..

'You've got to come and see me'.
'I never wanted to let you go'.
'You've got to try and forgive me'.
'I never wanted to let you go'.
'Please try not to deceive me'.
'I never wanted to let you go'.
'I know your love will relieve me'.
'I never wanted to let you go'.

'You've got to come and see me'..
' 'cause'..
'I never wanted to let you go'..
