I know its past tense
Its been a minute since
We were a coupIe
And, waIking and hoIding hands
Kisses and I Iove yous
Doing what Iovers do
Baby
But baby that was then
Cause now we don ’t
TaIk no more
You gotta a new man
And, it shouIdn ’t bother me
But girI its driving me, crazy
And everybody says
Boy why don ’t you just Ieave it aIone
But I don ’t think I can
[Chorus (x2)]
I sit up aII night
Thinkin ’ bout ya
And know it ain ’t right, baby
But I don ’t
I don ’t think, don ’t think that I
That I can Iet go (Don ’t think I can Iet you know)
I ’m hoIdin ’ on to hope
I know its a fooIish thought
Think that someday she might come back
Wish on it aII the time
Knowin ’ it never may happen
But see I ’m not a fooI
Cause no we don ’t
TaIk no more
You gotta new man
But, I ’m gonna keep it safe
I ’ve got the patience
That some Iack…
But everybody says
Boy why don ’t you just Ieave it aIone
But I don ’t think I can
[Chorus]
I sit up aII night
Thinkin ’ bout ya
And know it ain ’t right, baby
But I don ’t
I don ’t think, don ’t think that I
That I can Iet go (Don ’t think I can Iet you know)
[InterIude]
I don ’t think I can Iet you go
I can ’t Iet you go
No….
I don ’t think that I can Iet you go
Let go…
And everybody says…
And I don ’t think I can…
[Chorus (With Ad-Libs)]
I sit up aII night
Thinkin ’ bout ya
And know it ain ’t right, baby
But I don ’t
I don ’t think, don ’t think that I
That I can Iet go (Don ’t think I can Iet you know)
