Song Description

My attempt at Motown. Added session strings, horns, and Izotope (to make the track sound aged). Special thanks to Larry Hughes, great vocals and backgrounds.

Lyrics

[verse 1]
I've been tryin' to clear my head,
But girl, you're still in the way.
Can't focus on nothin' else I try to do
Your memory just makes me sway.

[pre-chorus]
And every time I catch my breath,
I feel your whisper in the air.
And I tell myself I won't get pulled back in,
But the truth is, girl, I'm halfway there.


[chorus 1]
The way you hold my soul,
You take me out of control,
No matter what I do,
I can't shake you loose.

[verse 2]
I keep seein' you everywhere,
In places you've never been.
Every little thing I touch or hear or feel
Takes me right back to you again.

[pre-chorus]
And every time you cross my mind,
I feel you tuggin' at my will.
And I tell myself I won't get pulled back in,
But somehow, girl, I'm fallin' still.

[chorus 2]
The way you hold my soul,
Got a grip so sweet, so bold,
I try, but it's no use--
Baby, I can't shake you loose.

[bridge]
Every road I try to choose
Leads me right back next to you,
No matter how I fight the truth,
My heart won't cut you loose.

[chorus 3]
The way you hold my soul,
You take me out of control,
No matter what I do,
I can't shake you loose.
No i can't shake you loose
I can't shake you loose
