You hold me down 
please 
you let me go 
I'm dying to be out 
on my own 
and I think I might go crazy 
if this lasts any longer 

you tell me this 
and you tell me that 
I'm trying to tell you 
where I'm at 
and I think I might 
go crazy 
if this lasts any longer 

oh yeah 

(chorus) 
I want to 
let you know you got to 
let me 
go 
you got to let me go 
yeah you got to 
let me 
go 
you gotta let me go 
oh you gotta let me go 
and I'm just tryin' to 
let you know 
so please 
let me go 

(doo-doo's) 

I've been on my 
best behavior 
well more than you need 
I'm not a savior 
and I think I might go crazy 
if this lasts any longer 

you may think 
you're misunderstood 
but I'm tired of acting 
like I should 
and I think I might go crazy 
if this lasts any longer 

oh yeah 

(chorus) 
I want to 

let you know you got to 
let me 
go 
you gotta let me go 
oh you got to 
let me 
go 
you gotta let me go 
oh you gotta let me go 
you know I'm tryin' to 
let you know 
so please 
let me go 

(Bridge) 
Well I love you 
and I need you 
but I've got to get away 
give me space 
and I won't mind 
when you want me to stay 
and I resent the fact 
that I need you 
you gotta let me make mistakes 
give me time 
out on my own 
we won't have too much heartache 
and I say oh 

(chorus) 
I wanna 
let you know you got to 
let me 
go 
you gotta let me go 
oh you gotta 
let me 
go 
you gotta let me go 
oh you gotta 
let me 
go 
you gotta let me go 
oh you gotta 
let me 
go 
oh you gotta let me go 
you gotta let me go 
I'm just trying to 
let you know 
you gotta let me go 

(doo-doo's) 
(mmm's)
