He wondered how she'd take it when he said goodbye   Thought she might do some cryin', lose some sleep at night   But he had no idea when he hit the road   That without him in her life she'd let herself go      Let herself go on a single's cruise to Vegas once, then to Honolulu   Let herself go to New York City   A week at the spa, came back knocked out pretty   When he said he didn't love her no more, she let herself go      She poured her heart and soul into their three bedroom ranch   Spent her days raisin' babies, ironin' his pants   Came home one day from the grocery store and found his note   And without him there to stop her she let herself go      Let herself go on her first blind date   Had the time of her life with some friends at the lake   Let herself go buy a brand new car   Drove down to the beach he always said was too far   Sand sure felt good between her toes      She let herself go on a singles cruise to Vegas once, then to Honolulu   Let herself go to New York City   A week at the spa came back knocked out pretty   When he said he didn't love her no more, she let herself go      To Vegas once, Honolulu, New York City   Came back knocked out pretty
