The Doobie Brothers
Learn to Let Go
[Intro]
Ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
When you look back on a love, and how it came to an end
You think you'll never wanna need anything that much again (Now babe)
'Cause when it feels so good, it's hard to see
The writing on the wall
Flyin' high on love only makes for a longer fall
[Pre-Chorus]
But ya gotta keep on tryin'
'Til the memory sets you free
When you lose at love
This world may keep on turnin', but it's just gonna keep on hurtin'
[Chorus]
'Til you learn to let go, babe (It's where you'll find it)
(What you're looking for) Let go, babe
(You can't hide it) Use your head, 'til your heart can follow
(It's where you'll find it) Yeah, yeah
(What you're looking for)
(You can't hide it) Let go
(So just let it go)
[Verse 2]
Forgive and forget
No need to keep on living a life of regret
But if you keep holdin' on
Lookin' for someone to blame
That's just wastin' your time waitin' for something to change
[Pre-Chorus]
But ya gotta keep on tryin'
'Til the memory sets you free
When you lose at love
This world may keep on turnin', but it's just gonna keep on hurtin'
[Chorus]
'Til you learn to let go, babe (It's where you'll find it)
(What you're looking for) Let go, babe
(You can't hide it) Use your head, 'til your heart can follow
(It's where you'll find it) Yeah, yeah
(What you're looking for)
(You can't hide it) Let go
(So just let it go)
[Pre-Chorus]
When you lose at love
This world may keep on turnin', but it's just gonna keep on hurtin'
[Chorus]
'Til you learn to let go, babe (It's where you'll find it)
(What you're looking for) Let go, babe
(You can't hide it) Use your head, 'til your heart can follow
(It's where you'll find it) Ooh-ooh
(What you're looking for) Let go, babe
(You can't hide it)
Hey, babe you know
[Outro]
And I know what you're going through (It's where you'll find it)
(What you're looking for) Coz' I've been there, too
(You can't hide it) I'd be there if I could
(It's where you'll find it) But hangin' on just ain't no good
(What you're looking for)
(You can't hide it) Ooh-ooh
(So just let it go)
Ooh-ooh
You know, it's okay to be sad
Only time can make it not feel so bad
