[Chorus]
I let a good girl go
I let a good girl go
[Verse 1]
She was good to me, but I hurt her constantly
I pushed her right out of my life
But now I'm payin' the price
[Chorus]
For lettin' a good girl go
I let a good girl go
[Verse 2]
She was on my sides, always standin' by
But like a fool, I ran her away
Lord, that was my biggest mistake
[Chorus]
I let a good girl go
I let a good girl go
I let a good girl go
I let a good girl go
[Verse 3]
I never really told her how much I care
'Cause I didn't realize that girl was so real
But now she's gone, there ain't nothin' I can do y'all
But said to myself "Boy, you been a fool"
Been a fool boy, yeah
[Verse 4]
She was good to me, and I hurt her constantly
I pushed her right out of my lifе
But now I'm payin' the price
[Chorus]
For lettin' a good girl go
I lеt a good girl go, yeah
I let a good girl go, oh
I let a good girl go, yeah
[Verse 5]
Now I miss my water, 'cause my well gone dry
Woo hoo, oh babe
[Chorus]
I let a good girl go, yeah
Gone away, gone away (I let a good girl go)
Yeah yeah, oh oh baby (I let a good girl go)
Come back home, girl (I let a good girl go)
Sorry, sorry (I let a good girl go)
Oh, I been wrong
Been, I've been, I've been, I've been, I've been wrong
(I let a good girl go)
[Outro]
Oh girl, yeah baby (I let a good girl go)
I wanna cry, hoo
