Heavens above, his mother would say
My Tommy's in love, he's moody all day
He's out of his mind, suspended in time

But he tries alibis and he tries to explain, sayin'
Let me go, let me
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go

And he tries little lies then he tries to refrain, sayin'
Let me go, let me
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go

Listen to me, his mother would say
You're young and in love, it won't last that way
You're only a boy, you'll grow up in time

But he tries alibis and he tries to explain, sayin'
Let me go, let me
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go

And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, sayin'
Let me go, let me
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go

Tommy's in love, he's always that way
Whatever he does, if only he'd say
He's feelin' so fine, she's lookin' so sweet

But he tries alibis and he tries to explain, sayin'
Let me go, let me
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go

And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, sayin'
Let me go, let me
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go

And he tries alibis then he tries to explain, sayin'
Let me go, let me
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go

And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, sayin'
Let me go, let me
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
