When her high-heels hit the floor, let her go
When she says she's out to go, let her go
There's an unspoken rule, every man should know:
You can't hold her, if you can't let her go
When she needs time on her own, let her go
Though it means you'll be alone, let her go
Ask anyone who's tried it, they'll say it so:
You can't hold her, if you can't let her go
If you can't let her go
How she's ever gonna know
Just how much she needs you
Just how much she means to you
If you can't be that strong
You're never gonna hold her...
For very long
When you see her with somebody new, let her go
And if she ran in front of you, let her go
Even if it breaks your heart, don't let it show:
'cause you can't hold her, if you can't let her go...
And if you can't hold her, let her go
