I Gotta Let You Go

[Verse 1]
Boy, you've hurt me for the very last time
You can bet it won't happen again
It's all over town, you've been playin' around
This time with my best friend

[Pre-Chorus]
Boy, no need in explainin'
'Cause you'd just be wastin' your time
Boy, I've got to let you

[Chorus]
I've gotta let you go
Even though I love you

[Verse 2]
I've got a fella that loves me
Those words I used to proudly say
But you've made me so blue by bein' untrue
Tell me, what made your love go astray?

[Pre-Chorus]
Boy, I was better to you, ain't true
Than I was to myself
So I've got to let you

[Chorus]
I've gotta let you go
Even though I love you, yeah

I've gotta let you go
Even though I love you

[Verse 3]
Boy, I've accepted the fact (Oh yeah)
That you no longer belong to me
Though I want you to stay, boy, be on your way
Consider yourself free

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh baby, I realize, that everyone makes a mistake
But I've got to let you

[Chorus]
I've got to let you go
(Even though I love you)
Bye-bye, I've got to let you go, boy
(Even though I love you)

[Outro]
I know I'm gonna cry but I've got to say bye-bye
(Even though I love you)
With tears in my eyes from the hurt I feel inside
(Even though I love you)
Ooh, I, I, I've got to let you go, boy
(Even though I love you)
