🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Don't you wanna be more than friends?
  • Hold me tight and don't let go (don't let go)
  • You have the right to lose control (don't let go)
  • I often tell myself that we could be more than just friends

Echo the hook

  • Don't let go
  • Don't let go (don't you wanna be?)
  • Don't let go
  • Hold me tight and don't let go (don't let go) (don't let go)
don'trightlose
