Can't Let Go lyrics

Ooh, selfish lover, someday you'll discover

That you're chasin' a game, 

Just a losin' game

You said that you were runnin'

When really you were gunnin'

For a boy to come on naturally

Ooh, lonely heart

You know you're worlds apart

From a friend to lend a guiding hand

It's time you learned your lesson

Girl, I'm no possession

You know I ain't no one-night stand

You left me standin'

You left me out of control

You left me standin'

You left me out of control

No matter what you do 

I'm never comin' back to you

No matter what you say 

You're gonna have to find another way

I can't let go

I can't let go

I can't let go

I can't let go

Whoa, whoa, no, no

They call you the stealer

But you were just a dealer

And you wouldn't know a friend 

If he held you by the hand

No good in me explainin'

This heart that you've been claimin'

Can't take another sleepless night

The smile that won me over 

Really won me over

Has got me thinkin' like a fool

You took me without warnin'

Now I think I'm stallin'

Tell me why you treat me so cruel

You left me standin'

You left me out of control

You left me standin'

You left me out of control

No matter what you do 

I'm never comin' back to you

No matter what you say 

You're gonna have to find another way

Well, I can't let go

No, I can't let go

It seems I can't let go

I just can't let go

You, you don't understand

I'm only doin' the best I can

How was I to know that I'd have to let you go?

No matter what you do 

I'm never comin' back to you

No matter what you say 

You're gonna have to find another way

I can't let go

Oh, I can't let go

I can't let go

I just can't let go
