I thought you were a sweetheart Turns out you're just a big a**hole like me And you said "I wanna ruin her life" I thought maybe you could just let this one be Just let this one be 'Cause you've had girls flocking to your feet Since you were sixteen And you picked up that guitar Learned how to play like Buddy Holly And sing so sweetly And you've had boys talking on the street Since you were sixteen And you picked up that guitar Learned how to move like Elvis Presley And croon so smoothly
So you could just let this one be Maybe you could just let this one be And I promise You'll have girls flocking to your feet When you're 60 And you'll pick up that guitar You'll still play like Buddy Holly You'll still sing sweetly You'll still have boys talking on the street When you're 80 And you'll pick up that guitar You'll still move like Elvis Presley And croon so smoothly So you could just let this one be Maybe you could just let this one be
