38 Special – I Oughta Let Go lyrics
Chorus:
I oughta be shot for thinkin' that you could love me
I oughta be hung for keepin' up my hopes
I got to be crazy for thinkin' that it could work out
I oughta know better, I oughta let go
It's only Monday, and my heart's already broken
I had a feeling it was gonna be different this time
But you were just talkin', going through the motions
And all the teachings were backin' up your lines
[Chorus:]
Day after day brings night after night without sleeping
You keep me waitin' and you know what I'm waitin' for
Some kind of affection that I can believe in
You give me just a little, I want a little bit more
[Chorus:]
(Solo)
Day after day brings night after night without sleeping
You keep me waitin' and you know what I'm waitin' for
Some kind of affection that I can believe in
You give me just a little, I want a little bit more
(chorus repeats 2x)
I oughta know better, I just oughta let go
Man I've got to be crazy, some kind of fever... (to fade
