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 Every 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 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 Let him go, ooh 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, ooh Let him go, ooh Let him go
