I know we're past tense. It's been a minute since we were a couple and walking and holding hands.
Kisses and "I love you's". Doing what lovers do, baby. But, baby, that was then.
'Cause now we don't talk no more. You got a new man, and it shouldn't bother me; but, girl, it's driving me crazy.
And everybody says, "Boy, why don't you just leave it alone?"
But I don't think I can.
I sit up all night, thinking about you-
And I know it ain't right, baby, but I don't-
I don't think that I-
I don't think I can let go. (I don't think I can let you go)
I sit up all night, thinking about you-
And I know it ain't right, baby, but I don't-
I don't think that I (that I) can let go.
I'm holding onto hope. I know it's foolish, though, thinking that someday she might come back.
Wish on it all the time, knowing it never may happen. But, see, I'm not a fool.
'Cause no, we don't talk no more. You got a new man, but I'm gonna keep the faith. I've got the patience that some lack.
But everybody says, "Boy, why don't you just leave it alone?"
But I don't think I can.
I sit up all night, thinking about you-
And I know it ain't right, baby, but I don't-
I don't think that I-
I don't think I can let go. (said I don't think I can let you go)
I sit up all night, thinking about you-
And I know it ain't right, baby, but I don't-
I don't think that I (that I) can let go.
I, I don't think that I can let you go. (I can let you go)
I, I don't think that I can let go.
And everybody says... Hey,
I don't think that I can.
I sit up all night, thinking about you-
And I know it ain't right, baby, but I don't-
I don't think that I-
I don't think I can let go. (don't think I can let you go)
I sit up all night, thinking about you-
And I know it ain't right, baby, but I don't-
I don't think that I (that I) can let go.
Said I don't think that I can let you
Said I don't think that I can let you
No. I don't think- Don't think I can let go.
Let me say it again...
