Trapped in a love for years 

And now I think I've found the real thing 

And when I think about your tears 

And all the joy that true love can bring 

What can I do? -- I gotta find a way to tell you 

What can I say? - 'cause I don't want to break your heart 



Let her go and start over 

There ain't nothing that'a  you can do 

Let her go and start over 

Baby, it's up to you 

Let her go and start over 

There ain't nothing that'a  you can say 

Let her go and start over    yea...



How can I tell you, baby? 

After all the good times we've seen? 

I know I gotta leave but maybe 

You think I'm trying to be mean 

What can I do? - Now I know I love another? 

What can I say? - It hurts you when I say I love her 

What can I do        to be fair to me -- to be fair to you? 



My friends tell me 

Let her go and start over 

There ain't nothing  that'a  you can do 

Let her go and start over 

Baby, it's up to you 

Let her go and start over 

There ain't nothing that'a  you can say 

Let her go and start over                   yea...



And - What can I do? -- I gotta find a way to tell you 

What can I say? - 'cause I don't want to break your heart that way 

What can I do to be fair to me -- to be fair to you? 



My friends tell me 

Let her go and start over 

There ain't nothing that I can do 

Let her go and start over 

Baby, it's up to you 

Let her go and start over 

There ain't nothing that'a  you can say 

Let her go and start over                   yea...

Don't understand you anyway

Let her go and start over 



Let her go,  Let her go,  Let her go,  Let her go and start over 

Let her go and start over 

There ain't nothing, There ain't nothing that you can do

Let her go and start over 

Let her go,  Let her go,  Let her go,  Let her go and start over 

Let her go and start over
