Let me go
Let me go lover
Let me be, set me free from your spell
You made me weak, cut me deep, I can't sleep lover
I was cursed from the first day I fell
You don't want me
But you want me to go on wanting you
How I pray that you will say that we are through
Please turn me loose
What's the use
Let me go lover
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go
You don't want me
But you want me to go on wanting you
How I pray that you will say that we are through
Please turn me loose
What's the use
Let me go lover
Let me go
Let me go
Let me go
