Don't cry, Joe, let her go, let her go, let her go,
Don't cry, Joe, let her go, let her go, let her go
You got to realize this is the wind-up,
You're gonna feel much better once you made your mind up
Don't cry, Joe, let her go, let her go, let her go
So you lost your gal, it's happened many times before,
So you sit and mope like a dope, what's that good for,
Get a hold of yourself, forget her, you lived long before you met her
There're lots of other girls, so I say,
Don't cry, Joe, let her go, let her go, let her go
Don't cry, Joe, let her go, let her go, let her go
You got to realize this is the wind-up,
You'll feel much better once you made your mind up
Don't cry, Joe, let her go, let her go, let her go

Take a look around and see just what you're missing,
You'll soon forget your troubles, Joe, if you'd only listen
So don't cry, Joe, let her go, let her go, Joe, let her go
