We have been friends such a long time
I know you trust me
You know that I have never been unkind
But now I must be
Oh can't you see it's so hard for me
To tell you frankly
But man to man I think you'll understand
Someday you'll thank me
I saw your girl last night
Out paintin' the town
You know she's messin' around and now
I think you need some good advice
Let her go, let her go
Before she takes you for a fool
Why must a lover be the last to know
Let her go, let her go
Before she breaks your heart in two
She doesn't love you, better let her go
She's got you dancin' upon a string
Just like a puppet
You cannot see her as she really is
That girl is trouble
She'll do you wrong, keep you hangin' on
Until you end it
Make no mistake, only a good clean break
Can soon be mended
It's gonna hurt your pride
But don't wait much longer
It's will only get harder now
I think you'd best make up your mind
Let her go, let her go
Before she takes you for a fool
Why must a lover be the last to know
Let her go, let her go
Before she breaks your heart in two
She doesn't love you, better let her go
Let her go, let her go
Before she takes you for a fool
Why must a lover be the last to know
Let her go, let her go
Before she breaks your heart in two
She doesn't love you, better let her go
Go! Go! You'd better let her go
