Let Me Go Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When she walks, she swings her arms
Instead of her hips
When she talks, she moves her mouth
Instead of her lips


[Pre-Chorus]
And I've waited for her for so long
I've waited for her for so long
I've wondered if I could hang on
I wonder if I could hang on, yeah

[Chorus]
"Let me go," she said, "Let me go," she said
"Let me go and I will want you more
Let me go, let me go
Let me go and I will want you"

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
When she wants, she wants the sun
Instead of the moon
When she sees, she see the stars
Inside of her room
[Pre-Chorus]
And I've waited for her for so long
I've waited for her for so long
I've wondered if I could hang on
I wonder if I could hang on

[Chorus]
"Let me go," she said, "Let me go," she said
"Let me go and I will want you more"
"Let me go," she said, "Let me go
Let me go and I will want you"

[Interlude]
([?])


[Chorus]
"Let me go," she said, "Let me go," she said
"Let me go," she said, "Let me go"
"Let me go," she said, "Let me go
Let me go, let me go
Let me go, let me go
Let me go, let, let me go
Let me go, let me go
Let me go, let me go
Let me go, let me go
Let me go, let"

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
