Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
It's a cold man to hurt his woman
And uh, watch her walk away crying
When all along, he knows he's wrong
To be so hard on a woman that's trying
I was so unkind to hurt you so
Going out of my mind
I just gotta let you know that
[Chorus]
Baby, I can't let you go
I realize I hurt you so
Our love, surely can be mended
Just a little misunderstanding
[Verse 2]
I remember you said
You would always care
Until death should we do part
Then it surely must be our destiny
To die the death of a broken heart
So before I go, a wandering rover
Let's get together
Talk this thing over now
[Chorus]
Baby, I can't let you go
I realize I hurt you so
Our love, surely can be mended
It's just a little misunderstanding
That's all it is (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 3]
We've been loving so long
That it just seems wrong
That our love could never be
You could be anywhere
Baby, I wouldn't care
If I thought that you're needed me
All the chains in the world
(Couldn't hold me, couldn't hold me)
Like a robot your love
(Controls me, controls me)
[Chorus]
Baby, I can't let you go
I realize I hurt you so
Our love, surely can we mend it
It's just a little misunderstanding
That's all it is
Baby, I can't let you go (Oh, yeah)
I realize I hurt you so (Ooh, yeah)
Our love, surely can be mended
(Surely, can be mended)
It's just a little misunderstanding
Baby (Baby)
I can't let you go
