Lalah Hathaway
Won’t Let It Go
[Verse 1:]
Once upon a time
Long ago in a land far away
You were the one
You were the reason
You were my
You were my everything
You were my dream man
I had to
I had to walk away

[Pre-Chorus:]
Show up to my house
Trying to remind me how we were
All unannounced
(Who do you think you are?)
Was I unclear?
Didn’t I say we were finished?
What kind of—
What kind of dream are you living?

[Chorus:]
He just won’t let it go
He just won’t let it go
Leave me alone!
He just won’t let it go
He just won’t let it go
I can do what I want!
He just won’t let it go
He just won’t let it go
So just leave me alone!
You should just let it go
You should just let it go

[Verse 2:]
They say you never miss the water
‘Til the well runs dry
And I’ve every excuse
At least a thousand times
And yes I stayed around too long
And I just don’t know why
But I had to
I had to get away

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus] (2x)

Leave me alone!
I’mma do what I want, yeah
