The Supremes Lyrics
"Till The Boat Sails Away"

(B. Payne/H. Beatty/B. Holland/E. Holland, Jr.)

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 (really want to stay)
Woo ooh ooh ooh (really want to stay)

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 (really want to stay)
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh (really want to stay)

[Interlude]

Ohhh, 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 (really want to stay)
I really want to stay (really want to stay)
Please, let me stay
