You're holdin' him so tight that he can't move   If you never give him room, you're gonna lose   He's feelin' 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   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, ooh, let him go      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, let him go, ooh, let him go, ooh, let him go
