You're holdin' him so tight that he can't move
If you never give him room, you're gonna lose
He's feelin' 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
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

Let him go, ooh, let him go, ooh, let him go

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

Let him go, let him go, ooh, let him go, ooh, let him go
