Send me out to San Francisco   And Fill me up a pint of Steamer   Boys are cruel,   But girls are meaner   Soon I'll be begging you to leave      If you choose to love a woman   That's the saddest life you'll lead   When she's broken you down   You'll be begging her to leave      'Cause boy I used to be a dreamer   And now I can't get to sleep   Haunted by those memories   Now I'm just begging them to leave      The poison in   The poison out   I gotta sing   I gotta shout   This world is tough   Boy, you should know   If you love something   Just let it go      So don't go wasting all your money   On a girl that doesn't drink   Her sober heart will always hate you   That kind of woman doesn't need   And if you get stuck in bottle   And all your thoughts, they fade away, away   Don't go thinkin' 'bout that woman   She ain't comin' back today      The poison in   The poison out   I gotta sing   I gotta shout   This world is tough   Boy, you should know   If you love something   Just let it go      Let it go   "Let it go"   And watch it die   "Yeah, and watch it die"   Let it go   "Let it go"   And if you love something   Don't even try      The poison in   The poison out   I gotta sing   I gotta shout   This world is tough   Boy, you should know   If you love something   Just let it go   Yeah, if you love something   Just watch it die!      So, let's go out to San Francisco   And we'll go singin' in the streets   All those songs about them women   And how we begged them not to leave
