Lyrics
PLEASE LET GO OF MY HEART
Writer: Jerry Lee Surber (ASCAP) Copyright 2006
I'M ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THIS LOVE
IT'S NOT THE KIND THAT I WANT...TO BE A PART OF
YOUR RAMBLIN' OUTLAW WAYS..KEEP TEARIN' ME ALL APART
HERE AND THEN LONG GONE
DAYLIGHT...OR IN THE DARK
OH WON'T YOU PLEASE...PLEASE
PLEASE LET GO OF MY HEART
IT'S FOR SURE THAT I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER
BUT I FELL HARD AND FAST
LIKE A SUICIDAL MOTH TO A CANDLE
I KEPT ON COMIN' BACK
THAT FLAME...IT SOON DIED OUT
LEFT NO TRACE OF A SINGLE DOUBT
THAT THIS NEW ROMANCE WE HAD
WAS NOW A PART OF THE FUTURE PAST
SO WON'T YOU PLEASE...PLEASE
PLEASE LET GO OF MY HEART
WHY DRAG THIS SORDID TALE OUT ONE MORE MINUTE?
LET'S CALL IT OFF...BEFORE WE'VE GONE TOO FAR
EMPTY WORDS AND PROMISES JUST WON'T MAKE IT
WISH I'D NEVER FOUND OUT...WHO YOU REALLY ARE
THIS WAS A BAD IDEA GONE WORSE..RIGHT FROM THE START
WON'T YOU PLEASE...PLEASE...PLEASE
PLEASE...PLEASE...PLEASE
DARLIN'...PLEASE LET GO OF MY HEART
PLEASE LET GO OF MY HEART
PLEASE LET GO OF MY HEART
PLEASE LET GO OF MY HEART
OH DARLIN'...PLEASE LET GO OF MY HEART
TURN ME LOOSE NOW BABE
