I remember when you whispered low   I will go with you wherever you go   Then I went and found someone new   No one ever made me feel the way that you do   Sometimes you don't know   When to hold on or when to let go   Sometimes you don't know   Sometimes   Then I came home one day   Your best friend told me you'd gone away   Had enough of my wild mispent youth   Now the tears in my eyes are the only truth   Sometimes you don't know   When to hold on or when to let go   Sometimes you don't know   Sometimes you don't know   When to hold on or when to let go   Sometimes you don't know   Hey   Hey mister d.j.   I don't need no sympathy   I made my choice   And when it all comes down   It all comes down on me   Now if I gotta take this thing   With my back against the wall   Won't you play me some chuck jackson   And watch those blue shadows fall   I'm free but I am alone   Sometimes you don't know   When to hold on or when to let go   Sometimes you don't know   Sometimes you don't know   When to hold on or when to let go   Sometimes   Sometimes   You better let go   Oh whoa oh   Yeah   Oh whoa oh   Yeah   Oh whoa oh   Oh whoa oh   Oh whoa oh   Oh whoa oh   Oh whoa oh
