The Clarks - Let You Go lyrics

He met a girl on the beach in his Chevrolet A girl that he loved that he gave away She said go boy go, will this make you stay He said thanks a lot, he said not today She tried so hard she tried so long That she lost her sense of right and wrong He said he heard a word coming from above He said the closest thing to d**h is love Hold on, no, don't let go I want to hold you tonight and never let you go Hold on, no, don't let go I want to hold you tonight and never let you go When you wait too long and you find out that what you had was free And the tears you fought were telling you Just what you really need He had to sing a song so he left that land He never said goodbye he never held her hand He was home in a year a broken man Couldn't find the girl who would love him again Now the only girls that will hold him again Are his mother and his sister Ann And he drives around in the Chevrolet And he sits in the back and he cries everyday In the car that he let the girl get away Hold on, no, don't let go I want to hold you for life and never let you go Hold on, no, don't let go I want to hold you for life and never let you Let you Let you Let you Go
