Heavens above, his mother would say

My Tommy's in love, he's moody all day

He's out of his mind, suspended in time



But he tries alibis and he tries to explain, saying

Let me go, let me,

Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go

And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, saying

Let me go, let me,

Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go



Listen to me, his mother would say

You're young and in love, it won't last that way

You're only a boy, you'll grow up in time



But he tries alibis and he tries to explain, saying

Let me go, let me,

Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go

And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, saying

Let me go, let me,

Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go



Tommy's in love, he's always that way

Whatever he does, if only he'd say

He's feeling so fine, she's looking so sweet



But he tries alibis and he tries to explain, saying

Let me go, let me,

Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go

And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, saying

Let me go, let me,

Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go

And he tries alibis then he tries to explain, saying

Let me go, let me,

Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go

And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, saying

Let me go, let me,

Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
