[Verse 1]

You're holding him so tight that he can't move

If you never give him room, you're gonna lose

He's feeling like he's tied up in a knot

Every time he comes home late, he's on the spot

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

Trust yourself to be the woman

That you want to be

If you both have room to grow

Then you'll live in harmony

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

Let him go, woah-woah

Ooh-ooh (Let him go, go)

[Chorus]

Let him go, let him go (Oh, 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)

[Outro]

Let him go, woah-woah

Ooh-ooh

Let him go, woah

Ooh-ooh (Let him go, let him go)
