You're holding him so tight that he can't move
If you never give him room
you're gonna lose
He's feeling like he's tied up in a knot
Ev'ry time he comes home late he's on the spot
Trust him to be the kind of man he wants to be
You aren't gonna keep him long if you give him
the third degree
Let him go
let him go
do the things he's got to do
Give him the freedom that he needs even though it worries you
Let him go
let him go
have the faith that he'll be true
It's the only way you can be sure he'll come back to you
You want your life with him to work so well
You forget the love you need to give yourself
I understand your desire to keep him near
But you poison love when you mix it up with fear
Trust yourself to be the woman that you want to be
If you both have room to grow
then you'll live in harmony
Let him go
let him go
do the things he's got to do

Let him go
let him go
Let him go
let him go
have the faith that he'll be true
It's the only way you can be sure he'll come back to you
Let him go
let him go
let him go
