till the boat sails away

Singer:supremes, the

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

woo ooh ooh ooh

yesterday's sweet wine

upon your lips still tastes fine

memories of the love you and i made

just yesterday

so hold me back

until the boat sails away

hold me

i really want to stay

oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh

ooh

i love you so

don't want to let

let you go

you mean more to me than life is safe

above all ends

so hold me back

until the boat sails away

hold me

i really want to stay

i really want to stay

please

let me stay
