You've Got to Let Your Love Go

Music

I know a girl
She's a good friend of mine
She went to see the shrink
Because she lost her mind
It made me stop and wonder
what kind of friend was I
And it hurts me when I remember
All the times that she's cried

You've got to let it go
You've got to let it go
You've got to let your love go

When I saw her
I told her I cared
I don't know if she heard me
or if she even knew I was there
Her eyes shot right through me
I felt them on my soul
And I wish that I could make her see
That I just didn't know that 

You've got to let it go
You've got to let it go
You've got to let your love go

Then she smiled
but there was a tear in her eye
She looked at me and said
Now I'm going to be alright
Now I know that you love me
And I love you too
So let's get on home now
There are things that we've got to do

We've got to let it go
We've got to let it go
We've got to let our love go
