Think I'd better let it go, let it go, baby Looks like another love T.K.O. Tried to take control of the love Love took control of me 'Cause you lose all thoughts, sense of time And have a change of mind Takin' the bumps and the bruises Of all the things of a two-time loser Just tryin' to hold on, faith is gone It's just another sad song I think I'd better let it go Looks like another love T.K.O. Yes, I think I'd better let it go, let it go, baby Looks like another love T.K.O. Tried to take control of the love Love took control of me 'Cause you lose all thoughts, sense of time And have a change of mind Takin' the bumps and the bruises Of all the things of a two-time loser See I try to hold on, my faith is gone It's just another sad song And I think I'd better let it go Looks like another love T.K.O. Think I'd better let it go, if I know what's good for you, baby Looks like another love T.K.O. I couldn't stand this pain much longer Think I'd better let it go, let it go, baby Looks like another love T.K.O. Oh, sometimes, sometimes I just feel like I wanna say, I wanna say 'Cause it looks like another love T.K.O. Tired of gettin' beat up by love Think I'd better let it go, let it go, baby Looks like another love T.K.O Think I'd better let it go Looks like another love T.K.O. Think I'd better let it go, let it go, baby Looks like another love T.K.O. Oh, they say love is better the second time around Think I'd better let it go Looks like another love T.K.O. I think I'd better let it go
