First thing early morning I'm gonna pack my tears away Got no cause to look back I'm lookin' for me a better way You see the thing 'bout love Is that it's not enough If the only thing it brings you is pain There comes a time when we could all make a change Just let go And let it flow, let it flow, let it flow Everything's gonna work out right you know Let go, and let it flow, let it flow, let it flow Just let it go Don't nobody want no broke heart And don't nobody want two time losers Ain't nobody gonna love you like you are If you take whatever he brings your way You see the thing of it Is we deserve respect But we can't demand respect without change There comes a time when we must go our own way Just let go And let it flow, let it flow, let it flow Everything's gonna work out right you know Let go, and let it flow, let it flow, let it flow Just let it go Some times love it can work out right Sometimes you'll never know But if it brings only pain in your life Don't be afraid to let it go
