I know it's past tense
It's been a minute since
We were a couple
And, walking and holding hands
Kisses and I love yous
Doing what lovers do
Baby
But baby that was then

'cause now we don't
Talk no more
You gotta a new man
And, it shouldn't bother me
But girl its driving me, crazy
And everybody says
Boy why don't you just leave it alone
But I don't think I can

[Chorus (x2)]
I sit up all night
Thinkin' about you
And know it ain't right, baby
But I don't
I don't think, don't think that I
That I can let go (Don't think I can let you know)

I'm holdin' on to hope
I know its a foolish thought
Think that someday she might come back
Wish on it all the time
Knowin' it never may happen
But see I'm not a fool

'cause no we don't
Talk no more
You gotta new man
But, I'm gonna keep the faith
I've got the patience
That some lack...
But everybody says
Boy why don't you just leave it alone
But I don't think I can

[Chorus]
I sit up all night
Thinkin' about you
And know it ain't right, baby
But I don't
I don't think, don't think that I
That I can let go (Don't think I can let you know)

[Interlude]
I don't think I can let you go
I can't let you go
No....
I don't think that I can let you go
Let go...
And everybody says...
And I don't think I can...

[Chorus (With Ad-Libs)]
I sit up all night
Thinkin' about you
And know it ain't right, baby
But I don't
I don't think, don't think that I
That I can let go (Don't think I can let you know)
