Martha Reeves & The Vandellas — I Gotta Let You Go

[Verse 1] Boy, you've hurt me for the very last time You can bet it won't happen again It's all over town, you've been playing around This time with my best friend [Pre-Chorus] Boy, no need in explaining 'Cause you'd just be wasting your time Boy, I've got to let you [Chorus] I've gotta let you go Even though I love you [Verse 2] I've got a fella that loves me Those words I used to proudly say But you've made me so blue by being untrue Tell me, what made your love go astray? [Pre-Chorus] Boy, I was better to you, ain't true Than I was to myself So I've got to let you [Chorus] I've gotta let you go Even though I love you, yeah I've gotta let you go Even though I love you [Verse 3] Boy, I've accepted the fact (Oh yeah) That you no longer belong to me Though I want you to stay, boy, be on your way Consider yourself free [Pre-Chorus] Oh baby, I realize, that everyone makes a mistake But I've got to let you [Chorus] I've got to let you go (Even though I love you) Bye, bye, I've got to let you go, boy (Even though I love you) [Outro] I know I'm gonna cry but I've got to say bye-bye (Even though I love you) With tears in my eyes from the hurt I feel inside (Even though I love you) Ooh, I, I, I've got to let you go, boy (Even though I love you)
