Let It Go
Scatman John
Everybody Jam! (1996)

I've got to tell you. I want totell you
I've got to tell you

I've
got to tell you that it's time to let you know
I want to tell you that
you've got to let it go (2X)

I'm believin' too much in all the stuff in
my head
It's a hassle in the mornin' to get up outta bed
I'm holdin' on
to secrets that are too hard to see
An' I'm thinking everybody is a-better
than me
I try to keep doing what I think I gotta do
If I make a mistake
you're gonna think I'm a fool
I'm always back again to the point where I
began
I'm afraid I need help - don't offer your hand
I know, you know,
they know, we know
I don't know nuthin' but I gotta keep bluffin'
I'm
thinking, they're thinking, you're thinking I'lldrink
Feelin' so confused
that I think I wanna sink
It's so hard to talk when you're walking in shock

It's so hard to see when you're pretending you'refree
Don't know how
to give, and I've had all I can take
Everybody's to blame, when you can't
play the game

I've been namin' and a-gamin' and a-framin' anda-blamin'

It's a pattern I've been weaving for a long longtime
It's hard to
begin, but surrender means win
And it certainly is better than losing your
mind
I know that you've been thinking
I've been talkin' 'bout me I made
it that way,
For a purpose you see
Scatman's really only tryin' to get
through
To help you discover - he be talkin' 'bout you
The things that
hold me back are right here in my head
The sabateur, can't endure, he has
to go to bed
I want to live life in spite of what I think
I think that
my opinion should be thrown to the sink
I wanna do better, but I don't know
how
But if I'm gonna start I better start right now
I try to survive
and I've gotta let you know
If I want to live at all I gotta gotta let go
