Lyrics.
Intro — Fig.1 Don’t let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Don’t let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
And I can’t believe i’ve had this chance now
Don’t let it go away
Verse 1 — Fig.2 New, you’re so new
You, you’re new
And I never had this taste in the past
New, you’re so new
My normal hesitation is gone
And I really gravitate to your will
Are you here to fetch me out?
Cause I never had this taste in my mouth
Bridge 1 — Oh you’re not old
Fig.3 & 4 And you’re not familiar
Recently discovered and I’m learning about you
Verse 2 — Fig.2 New, you’re so new
You, you’re new
And you’re consuming me violently
And your reverence shamelessly tempting me
Who sent this maniac?
Cause I never had this taste in the past
Bridge 2 — Oh you’re different, you’re different from the former
Fig.3 & 4 Like a fresh battery, I’m energized by you
Chorus 1 — Fig.1 Don’t let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Don’t let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
And I can’t believe I’ve had this chance now
Don’t let it go away
Middle — Fig.5 Why am I so curious?
This territory is dangerous
I’ll probably end up at the start
I’ll be back in line with my, broken heart
New, you’re so new
You, you’re new
And I never had this taste in the past
Chorus 2 — Fig.1 Same as chorus 1
Chorus 3 — Fig.1 And I can’t believe it
Can’t believe it
Can’t believe it
Can’t believe it
Don’t let it go away, this feeling has got to stay
Don’t let it go away
(G. Stefani, T. Dumont)
