[Verse 1]
First of all, I apologize
For this long period of silence
Being busy is no excuse to pull away
And lose touch with my friends

[Verse 2]
Last time we met on the net
Maybe you didn't like those things that I said
But the day I sent you that sad mail
Not one, not two but three couples of friends just split up

[Chorus]
Please, don't start your reply with sorry I was busy too
It's the busyness that brings us to our knees
Who invented all these things we have to do?
'Cause if I don't have you, oh, babe
What I'm trying to say is don't let go
Don't let go, don't let go, don't let go
(Don't let go, don't let go, don't let go)
Don't let go

[Verse 3]
And as for me, the snow's returned
The cat is scratching at cotton buds on his fur
Mum never calls, Laura's going to Spain
The ethics teacher killed herself last Saturday
[Chorus]
Please, don't start your reply with sorry I was busy too
It's the busyness that brings us to our knees
Who invented all these things we have to do?
'Cause if I don't have you, oh, babe
What I'm trying to say is don't let go
Don't let go, don't let go, don't let go
(Don't let go, don't let go, don't let go)
Don't let go, don't let go, don't let go
(Don't let go, don't let go, don't let go)

Please, don't start your reply
(Please, don't start your reply)
With sorry I was busy too
(sorry I was busy too)
I know you're busy, we are all busy
(I know you're busy, we are all)
We've got such important things to do
(such important things to do)

Please, don't start your reply
(Please, don't start your reply)
With sorry I was busy too
(sorry I was busy too)
I know you're busy, we are all so busy
(I know you're busy, we are all)
We've got such important things to do
