Shoulda Let You Go

(Keyshia Cole)

(Dark Child)

(Let's go)

Just to think about it, I would do things that I would regret

Tryna get you to

Understand how I felt for you

I tried real hard, time and time again but I

Didn't know our love wouldn't grow

I shoulda just let it go

But I stayed around thinking you would learn to love

And we both know you're wrong

There's nothing you can do to ever undo what you've done to me

I loved you deep in my heart, I know

You couldn't love me but, baby, I just kept holding on

I shoulda let you go

I shoulda let you go (Go, go, go, go)

I shoulda let you go (Go, go, go, go)

You know, I shoulda let you go

I couldn't do without it

I felt I needed you in my world to get me by, but

More and more I looked out for you

You try to play me like a fool, so I

Didn't care that love wasn't there

Had to just let it go

Couldn't stay around thinking you would learn to love

And we both know you're wrong

There's nothing you can do to ever undo what you've done to me

I loved you deep in my heart, I know

You couldn't love me but, baby, I just kept holding on

I shoulda let you go

I shoulda let you go (Go, go, go, go)

I shoulda let you go (Go, go, go, go)

You know, I shoulda let you go

And now I'm gone, plus I'd rather be alone

We've both grown, lower your tone over the phone, aight

I shoulda known, damn I shoulda known this wouldn't last long

When you didn't come home some nights

And now I'm on, in the zone, handle business on my own

So respect the queen on the throne, aight?

Here's some strong advice, move on, that's life

You wrong, I'm right, and I'm glad I let you go

And we both know you're wrong

There's nothing you can do to ever undo what you've done to me

I loved you deep in my heart, I know

You couldn't love me but, baby, I just kept holding on

I shoulda let you go

I shoulda let you go (Go, go, go, go)

I shoulda let you go (Go, go, go, go)

I shoulda let you go

Don't know why you would ever lie to me so

(But I shoulda let you)

Don't know why I could never let you go

(Coulda, shoulda let ya)

Don't know why you would ever lie to me so

(Shoulda let you go)

Don't know why I could never let you go

Shoulda let you, I shoulda let you go

(Shoulda let you go)

Don't know why I could never let you go

(But I shoulda let you)

Everything I did, everything I gave

You didn't understand, no

Don't know why I could never let you go

(Coulda, shoulda let ya)

Baby, oh, I shoulda let you go

Long time ago

Yeah
