Lyrics:

You're holding him so tight that he can't move



If you never give him room

you're gonna lose.

He's feeling like he's tied up in a knot



Ev'ry time he comes home late he's on the spot.

Trust him to be the kind of man he wants to be



You aren't gonna keep him long if you give him

the third degree.



Let him go

let him go

do the things he's got to do



Give him the freedom that he needs even though it worries you.

Let him go

let him go

have the faith that he'll be true



It's the only way you can be sure he'll come back to you.



You want your life with him to work so well



You forget the love you need to give yourself.

I understand your desire to keep him near



But you poison love when you mix it up with fear.

Trust yourself to be the woman that you want to be



If you both have room to grow

then you'll live in harmony.

Let him go

let him go

do the things he's got to do

. . .



Let him go

let him go.

Let him go

let him go

have the faith that he'll be true



It's the only way you can be sure he'll come back to you.

Let him go

let him go

let him go.
