Lyrics[]
I can't let you, I can't let you
I can't let you throw yourself away
I can't let you (I can't let you)
I can't let you (I can't let you)
I can't let you throw yourself away
Don't you wanna see the sun come up each morning?
Don't you wanna see the sun go down each day?
Don't you wanna see that girl who loves you so?
Her heart would break, if you should go
I can't let you, I can't let you
I can't let you throw yourself away
I can't let you (I can't let you)
I can't let you (I can't let you)
I can't let you throw yourself away
Son, it seems to me like you're never gonna behave yourself
Since I'm not gonna do this everyday
Come tomorrow, you're gonna have to save yourself
Got nothin' more to say, you're not listening anyway
I can't let you (I can't let you)
I can't let you (I can't let you)
I can't let you throw yourself away
I can't let you (I can't let you)
I can't let you (I can't let you)
I can't let you throw yourself away
I can't let you, I can't let you
I can't let you throw yourself away
I can't let you (I can't let you)
I can't let you (I can't let you)
I can't let you throw yourself away
