Just to think about it, I would do things that I would regret
Tryna get you to understand how I felt for you
I tried real hard, time and time again but I
Didn't know our love wouldn't grow, I shoulda just let it go
But I, stayed around thinkin' you would learn to love
And we both know you're wrong
There's nothin' you can do to ever undo what you've done to me
I loved you deep in my heart I know you couldn't love me
But baby, I just kept holdin' on, I shoulda let you go
Shoulda let you go
I shoulda let you go
You know I shoulda let you go
Couldn't do without it, I thought I needed you in my world
To get me by, but, more and more I looked out for you
You try and play me like a fool, so I
Didn't care that love wasn't there, had to just let it go
Couldn't stay around, thinkin' you would learn to love
And we both know you're wrong
There's nothin' you can do to ever undo what you've done to me
I loved you deep in my heart, I know you couldn't love me
But baby, I just kept holdin' on, I shoulda let you go
Shoulda let you go
I shoulda let you go
You know I shoulda let you go
And now I'm gone, plus I'd rather be alone
We both grown, lower your tone over the phone, aight
I shoulda known, damn I shoulda known
This wouldn't last long when you didn't come home tonight
And now I'm on in the zone, handle business on my own
So respect the queen on the throne, aight
Here's some strong advice, move on, that's life
You wrong, I'm right and I'm glad I let you go
And we both know you're wrong
There's nothin' you can do to ever undo what you've done to me
I loved you deep in my heart, I know you couldn't love me
But baby, I just kept holdin' on, I shoulda let you go
Shoulda let you go
I shoulda let you go
I should have let you go
Don't know why you would ever lie to me so
(But I shoulda let you)
Don't know why I could never let you go
(Coulda, shoulda let you)
Don't know why you would ever lie to me so
(Should have let you go)
Don't know why I could never let you go
Shoulda let you, I shoulda let you go, hey, oh
(Should have let you go)
Don't know why I could never let you go
(But I shoulda let you)
Everything I did, everything I gave you didn't want to stay, no
(Should have let you go)
Don't know why I could never let you go
(Coulda, shoulda let you)
Baby, oh, I shoulda let you go
Long time ago, yeah
