| You're holding him so tight that he can't move | |
| If you never give him room | |
| you're gonna lose. | |
| He's feeling like he's tied up in a knot | |
| Ev'ry time he comes home late he's on the spot. | |
| Trust him to be the kind of man he wants to be | |
| You aren't gonna keep him long if you give him | |
| the third degree. | |
| Let him go | |
| let him go | |
| do the things he's got to do | |
| Give him the freedom that he needs even though it worries you. | |
| Let him go | |
| let him go | |
| have the faith that he'll be true | |
| It's the only way you can be sure he'll come back to you. | |
| You want your life with him to work so well | |
| You forget the love you need to give yourself. | |
| I understand your desire to keep him near | |
| But you poison love when you mix it up with fear. | |
| Trust yourself to be the woman that you want to be | |
| If you both have room to grow | |
| then you'll live in harmony. | |
| Let him go | |
| let him go | |
| do the things he's got to do | |
| . . . | |
| Let him go | |
| let him go. | |
| Let him go | |
| let him go | |
| have the faith that he'll be true | |
| It's the only way you can be sure he'll come back to you. | |
| Let him go | |
| let him go | |
| let him go. |
