About Never Let You Go

"Never Let You Go" is a single performed by New Kids on the Block (as "NKOTB") from their 1994 album Face the Music. The song features Jordan Knight singing lead vocals and Donnie Wahlberg rapping. It was released during the group's drop in popularity and failed to perform well on the US charts. It reached #42 in the UK Singles Chart and #18 in the Canadian Charts. The video for the song shows Knight and a young woman disputing during the majority of it as he walks aimlessly through the city reminiscing before Wahlberg reunites them. "Never Let You Go" was the last single New Kids on the Block released before breaking up in June 1994 until their 2008 reunion. The single was performed again in the Casi-NO Tour 2010.

[Chorus:]
Close your eyes
Realize
It's you and I
Take my hand
Understand
That I'm your man 
If loving you is right I can't go wrong
Girl, we've known each other for so long
Chemistry between us has grown strong
You are the one and only meaning to this song 

God's gift to man is what you are
You make me feel there's no such thing as too far
Forever's just enough time to show you girl
That I'm not acting like I know
I'll never let you go 

[Chorus:]

I will never let you 
Think that I am someone that I'm not
You're down for me
I'm holding on to what I've got
First impressions work I've always found
Being with you I know my heart's on solid ground 

People say we can't
I know we can
Can't stop it anyway so take my hand
Let's make this something special
I want this to grow
Because of the loyalty you show
I'll never let you go 

[Chorus:]

For too long I've known
And far too strong I've grown attached to you
Just call me your own
Everywhere people breaking up
That won't happen to us
Because we were friends before lovers

I'll never let you down girl
Never gonna let you go
Never gonna let you go, oh no

It feels good to see your face
Come have a seat 
Sit by the fireplace and
I'll massage your shoulders if they hurt
I can tell by your eyes, a hard day at work
God's gift to man
Though some might say that 
We're too young to understand 
But I've got a firm grip on reality 
And you and me is right where I want to be...
Wrapped in your arms
And you in mine
A love like this is really hard to find
So I won't front and try to play love games
I'll always be the same, won't a damn thing change
You hear me talking?
Trust what I'm about--love and understanding
Won't play each other out
You got a feeling that I'm doing you low?
Girl it's not so
I'll never let you go
