Let Me Go

The Rolling Stones

(M. Jagger/K. Richards)



You're gonna get it straight from the shoulder

Can't you see the party's over

Let me go



Can't you get it through your thick head

This affair is finished - dead

Hey, let me go



I tried giving you the velvet gloves

I tried giving you the knockout punch

Hey, let me go

Let me go

Let me go

Let me go

Let me go



I find it hard to be cruel

I find it hard to be cruel

With a smile, don't you?

You'll never find that perfect love

That you read about

That you dream about



Maybe I'll become a playboy

Hang around in gay bars

And move to the west side of town



You're gonna get it straight from the shoulder

Can't you see the party's over

Hey, let me go

Let me go



So you think I'm giving you the brush off

Well I'm just telling you to shove off

Hey, let me go



This ain't no time to waste my breath

We're going into sudden death

Hey, let me go



Can't you get it through your thick head

This affair is dead as a doornail

Hey, baby won't you let me go



The bell has rung, and I've called time

The chair is on the table, out the door baby



Baby won't you let me go

Let me go...
