You don't want all of me, you want a piece of me
The part of me I used to give away
And though it's over now your pride will not allow
For anybody else to take your place
I've tried to tell you patiently
Can't take these feelings casually
'Cause when it's down to you and me
I lose my reserve, my moral start to swerve
And suddenly I'm lost in you again
Just when I think I've got you out of my mind
You're at my door and I can't tell you no
You make it impossible to leave you behind
So back off slow, let me let you go
Let me let you go
You've got a jealous streak a look that's telling me
That maybe you're not through with me just yet
You saw me yesterday down at the street cafe
With someone who's been helping me forget
But whenever you come into view
There's no making room for someone new
I see those eyes still burning blue
And I lose my resolve the room starts to revolve
And suddenly you're in my arms again
Just when I think I've got you out of my mind
You're at my door and I can't tell you no
You make it impossible to leave you behind
So back off slow, oh baby, let me let you go
Can't get you out of my head, out of my head
Keeping me holding, holding
You stop me from moving ahead, moving ahead
Keeping me holding, holding
Can't get you out of my mind, out of my mind
Keeping me burning, burning
You stop me from moving ahead, moving ahead
Keeping me burning, burning
Whenever you come into view
There's no making room for someone new
Just when I think I've got you out of my mind
You're at my door and I can't tell you no
You make it impossible to leave you behind
So back off slow, oh, baby, let me let you go
Let me let you go
You gotta let me go
Let me let you go
