Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lookin' back over my years, I guess I shed some tears
Told myself time and again, this time I'm gonna win
But another fight, things ain't right, I'm losin' again
It takes a fool to lose twice and start all over again
[Verse 2]
I think I better let him go
'Cause it looks like another love T.K.O.
(Let it go, baby)
I think I better let him go
'Cause it looks like another love T.K.O., oh, yeah
[Verse 3]
I tried to take control of the love, you took control of me
See, you lose all thought and sense of time
You have a change of mind
Takin' the bumps and the bruises and all the pain
Of a two-time lose
And I tried to hold on, my faith is gone
It's just another sad song
[Verse 4]
So I think I gotta let him go
(Let it go, baby)
'Cause it looks like another love T.K.O.
Oh, yes, it does, yes, it does
I think I gotta let it go
(Let it go, baby)
'Cause it looks like another love T.K.O.
[Verse 5]
Boy, what you want me to do?
Can't stand up to you, no, no, no, no
[Verse 6]
I tried to take control of the love, you took control of me
See, you lose all thought and sense of time
You have a change of mind
Takin' the bumps and the bruises and all the pain
Of a two-time lose
And I tried to hold on, my faith is gone
It's just another sad song
[Verse 7]
I think I better let him go
(Let it go, baby)
'Cause it looks like another love T.K.O., yeah
I think I better let him go
(Let it go, Miss M)
Another love, love T.K.O.
[Verse 8]
Oh, I think I gotta let it go
(Let it go, baby)
Boy, you got me turned around, turned around
(T.K.O.)
Around and around
Everybody's got to cry sometime
(Let it go, baby)
(T.K.O.)
That's what they say, I heard them say
[Verse 9]
I think I better let him go
Everybody's gonna cry sometimes
(T.K.O.)
(Let it go, baby)
