(Ready or not, here I come) (Come on) (Come on) All my life I've kept my feelings deep inside Never was a reason to let somebody know Lover here, lover there, who cried? Who cares? Foolish pride Never was a good seat at any of this man's shows Until now all I wanted to do is Do do do what I do, and Bang bang bang on the drummer And love so-and-so But now I've got to let it go (let it go) Lay back and let the vibe just flow I want to just let it go (let it go) Lay back and let my feelings show (Let it go) I'm ready for the real Give me something I can feel All my life this heart's been under lock and key My curtains were drawn there wasn't nobody home Trigger here, trigger there, everybody's high except for me Better off dead if I couldn't be alone Until now all I wanted to do is Do do do what I do, and Bang bang bang on the drummer And love so-and-so But now I've got to let it go (let it go) Lay back and let the vibe just flow I want to just let it go (let it go) Lay back and let my feelings show I, I'm ready for the real Give me something I can feel Fourteen years and tears I've longed to sing my song But a horse couldn't drag your ass to put me on But now I've got an army and we're three million strong This song will ring in your ears when we are gone Until now all I wanted to do is Do do do what I do, and Bang bang bang on the drummer And love so-and-so But now I want to let it go (let it go) Lay back and let the vibe just flow Said I want to let it go (let it go) Lay back and let the feelings show I am ready for the real (Come a little closer) Let it go Lay back an' let the vibe just flow
