I know that it's time for a change Mmm but when that change comes Will you still feel the same? How many times have I tried to turn this love around? I don't want to give up But baby it's time I had two feet on the ground Can you release me Can you release me Now that you're gone I can't help myself from wondering Oh, if you'd have come down from your high Would we've been all right? Release me Can you release me Come on baby, come on baby You knew it was time to just let go 'Cause we want to be free But somehow it's just not that easy Come on Darlin', hear me Darlin' 'Cause you're a waste of time for me I'm trying to make you see That baby you've just got to release me Release me Release me I'm not going back to you anymore Finally my weakened heart is healing though very slow So stop coming around my door 'Cause you're not gonna find What you're looking for Come on baby, come on baby You knew it was time to just let go 'Cause we want to be free But somehow it's just not that easy Come on Darlin', hear me Darlin' 'Cause you're a waste of time for me I'm trying to make you see That baby you've just got to release me Release me Release me I'm not going back to you anymore Finally my weakened heart is healing though very slow So stop coming around my door 'Cause you're not gonna find What you're looking for What is this power you've got on me What is this power, Oh What is it, What is it Come on baby, come on baby You knew it was time to just let go 'Cause we want to be free But somehow it's just not that easy Come on Darlin', hear me Darlin' 'Cause you're a waste of time for me I'm trying to make you see That baby you've just got to release me Release me Release me I'm not going back to you anymore Finally my weakened heart is healing though very slow So stop coming around my door 'Cause you're not gonna find What you're looking for Release me Will you release me Ah...Release me Will you release me
