Can’t Let Go

Ooh, selfish lover, someday you'll discover
That you're chasin' a game, just a losin' game
You said that you were runnin' when really you were gunnin'
For a boy to come on naturally

Ooh, lonely heart, you know you're worlds apart
From a friend to lend a guiding hand
It's time you learned your lesson, girl, I'm no possession
You know I ain't no one-night stand

You left me standin', you left me out of control
You left me standin', you left me out of control
No matter what you do, I'm never comin' back to you
No matter what you say, you're gonna have to find another way

I can't let go
I can't let go
I can't let go
I can't let go
Whoa, whoa, no, no

They call you the stealer but you were just a dealer
And you wouldn't know a friend if he held you by the hand
No good in me explainin', this heart that you've been claimin'
Can't take another sleepless night

The smile that won me over, really turned me over
Has got me thinkin' like a fool
You took me without warnin', now I think I'm stallin'
Tell me why you treat me so cruel

You left me standin', you left me out of control
You left me standin', you left me out of control
No matter what you do, I'm never comin' back to you
No matter what you say, you're gonna have to find another way

Well, I can't let go
No, I can't let go
It seems I can't let go
I just can't let go

You, you don't understand
I'm only doin' the best I can
How was I to know that I'd have to let you go?

No matter what you do
I'm never comin' back to you
No matter what you say
You're gonna have to find another way

I can't let go
Oh, I can't let go
I can't let go
I just can't let go
