I never feared the devil
Or the gypsy in my soul
But you’re not on the level
And I’m not in control
And I’m afraid your baby blues
Are just too much for me
And I’m afraid I’ll loose my heart
If you don’t set me free

Let me go
I don’t want to believe you
I just want to be gone
I just want to be gone
Let me go
Don’t say how much I need you
Say goodnight and move on
Say goodnight and move on
If you get me under your spell
I’ll be lost for good, I can tell
Let me go
Don’t let me love you
Let me go

Hey, I never bought a hustle
And I never took a dive
I’ve always had the muscle
To get through love alive
But I’m afraid your loving lies
Might just do me right in
And I’m afraid to play tonight
’cause I know that I won’t win

Let me go
I don’t wanna be lovers
I just wanna be free
I just wanna be, wanna be, wanna be free
Let me go
You’ve got so many others
Have some pity on me
Some pity on me
On my own, I’m doing just great
So, don’t mess around with my fate
Let me go
Don’t let me love you
Let me go

Don’t let me love you
Let me go
