I Gotta Let You Go

Norman Whitfield

[Verse 1]
Mmm, you've hurt me for the very last time
You can bet it won't happen again
You've been playin' around, it's all over town
This time with my best friend

[Pre-Chorus]
Mmm, don't start cryin'
'Cause you'd just be wastin' your tears
Girl, I've got to let you

[Chorus]
I've gotta let you go, girl
Even though I love you

[Verse 2]
I said, "I've got a woman that loves me"
Those words I used to proudly say
But you've made me so blue by being untrue
Girl, what made your love go astray?

[Pre-Chorus]
I was-a better to you
Than I was to myself
So I've got to let you

[Chorus]
I've gotta let you go, girl
Even though I love you so

Mmm. I've gotta let you go, girl
Even though I love you

[Verse 3]
I said I have accepted the fact
That you no longer belong to me
Though I want you to stay, girl, be on your way
Girl, consider yourself free

[Pre-Chorus]
Mmm, I realize that everyone makes a mistake
But I've got to let you

[Chorus]
I've got to let you go, girl
(Even though I love you)
I said it's gonna hurt me so (I've gotta let you go)
Oh (Even though I love you)

[Outro]
Girl, I've gotta, gotta let you go, baby, mmm
(Even though I love you)
Said I've gotta let you go, girl, yeah
(Even though I love you)
Mmm, said I
