Well, you know, you always bring me down
Well, it's sad, you pick me up and turn me down
Well, I'm telling you a secret, you might know
I can't let you go

Well, I know, that you'd really like to leave
I can see you're hiding something up your sleeve
Well, right or wrong, high or low
I can't let you go

Well, I'd like to turn you loose but it wouldn't be no use
I just can't let you go
No, I can't let you go
And I wouldn't let you go if I could

Well, I'd like to set you free but if you leave it up to me
Then I won't let you go, oh, no
No, I can't let you go
And I wouldn't let you go if I could

(All right)

Oh-oh, oh-oh, can't let you go
No, I can't let you go
And I wouldn't let you go if I could

(Oh, yeah)

I know, that you'd really like to leave
I can see you're hiding something up your sleeve
Well, right or wrong, high or low
I can't let you go

Well, I'd like to turn you loose but it wouldn't be no use
I just can't let you go
No, I can't let you go
And I wouldn't let you go if I could

(Here we go one more time)

Oh-oh, oh-oh, I can't let you go, oh, no
No, I can't let you go
And I wouldn't let you go if I could, no, no, no

No, I can't let you go
And I wouldn't let you go if I could
No, I can't let you go
And I wouldn't let you go if I could
