Let him go

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
