Oh please release me, let me go
For I just don’t love you anymore
To waste our lives would be a sin
Release me and let me love again
I have found a new love dear
And I will always want her near
Her lips are warm while yours are cold
Oh release me, my darling let me go
Please release me, let me go
For I just don’t love you anymore
To waste our lives would be a sin
Release me and let me love again
Let me go, oh release me, my darling
Let me go
I know that it’s time for a change
Hmmm, but when that change comes,
Will I still feel the same?
How many times have I tried to turn this love around?
I don’t want to give up but baby
It’s time I had two feet on the ground
Can you release me?
Can you release me?
Now that you’re gone I can’t help myself from
wondering
Oh, if you’d have come down from your high
Would we’ve been all right?
Release me
Can you release me
(CHORUS:)
Come on baby, come on baby
You knew it was time to just let go
‘Cause we want to be free
But somehow it’s just not that easy
Come on darlin’, hear me darlin’
‘Cause you’re a waste of time for me
I’m trying to make you see
That baby you’ve just got to release me
Release me
Release me
I’m not going back to you anymore
Finally my weakened heart is healing
Though very slow
So stop coming around my door
‘Cause you’re not gonna find what you’re looking for
(CHORUS)
What is this power you’ve got on me?
What is this power…
(CHORUS)
Release me
Release me
Release me
Will you release me
Ah… release me
Will you release me
I know that it’s time for a change
Mmm but when that change comes
Will you still feel the same?
How many times have i tried to turn this love around?
I don’t want to give up
But baby it’s time i had two feet on the ground
Can you release me
Can you release me
Now that you’re gone i can’t help myself from wondering
Oh, if you’d have come down from your high
Would we’ve been all right?
Release me
Can you release me
Chorus:
Come on baby, come on baby
You knew it was time to just let go
‘cause we want to be free

I can still feel your teethmarks in my neck your footprints on my back
And the gris gris you sprinkled in my bed is starting to make me crack

I can still hear your twang ringing in my ears, your perfume i still smell
You bought it way down below the mason dixon line
Like your mother you’re a southern belle
F#m b a f#m f#m b f#m

Ready to strike
Instrumental verse and bridge (sort of) with sax and backing vocals
Repeat bridge
When the night comes down i get a big black fear,
Like the clouds hanging up above
I don’t want you to possess me, but that’s how it is
I ain’t nothin but your slave of love.
I said release me, but please don’t let me know
Release me, but please dont let me oh oh oh
Release me, but please don’t let me know

I’m drowning in the shallow waters
And I’m trying so hard to reach the top
Something so pure, in the air to catch
I can see it above me
A breathe of freedom (release me)
A choice to change
A new direction (release me)
I feel so trapped (let me go)
And as the sunlight tries to guide me
I keep pretending there’s nothing there
And now I’m so deep
No where near the end
And I keep going down, so down
I begin to see the person (release me)
Holding me, is me
Let it go (release me)
Let it go (oooh, ooh)
(Release me)
I can’t fight it (I can’t fight it)
And I won’t deny it (I won’t deny it)
As times go by
I’ll remember
That it’s me who holds the key
Let me go (release me)
Let me go (release me)
(Release me, yeah)
[brandi]
I’m drowning in the shallow waters
And i’m trying so hard to reach the top
Something so pure, in the air to catch
I can see it above me
[natina] (brandi)
A breathe of freedom (release me)
A choice to change
A new direction (release me)
I feel so trapped (let me go)
[brandi]
And as the sunlight tries to guide me
I keep pretending there’s nothing there
And now i’m so deep
No where near the end
And i keep going down, so down
[natina] (brandi)
I begin to see the person (release me)
Holding me, is me
Let it go (release me)
Let it go (oooh, ooh)
(release me)
[brandi] (natina)
I can’t fight it (i can’t fight it)
And i won’t deny it (i won’t deny it)
As times go by
I’ll remember
[natina]
That it’s me who holds the key
[natina] (brandi)
Let me go (release me)
Let me go (release me)
(release me, yeah)
That we must fly is a ?? thing
And nothin’ can stay forever locked in
I’ll take your blame like a ball and a chain
I’ll wear it ‘round my neck
I won’t feel no shame
Breakin’ waves on the shore
It turned then fade once more
Release me from this love
If it’s ours it’ll come
Release me from this love
If it’s ours it’ll come
Release me
Release me from this love
Don’t want no sympathy
Draggin’ me down
Makin’ me sorry
When we can wake up and see
All that we never knew to be
Breakin’ waves on the shore
It turned then fade once more
Release me from this love
(release me from this love)
If it’s ours it’ll come
Release me from this love
(set me free with your love)
If it’s ours it’ll come
Release me
Release me from this love
Breakin’ waves on the shore
It turned then fade once more
Release me from this love
(release me from this love)
If it’s ours it’ll come
Release me from this love
(set me free with your love)
If it’s ours it’ll come
Release me from this love
(release me from this love)
If it’s ours it’ll come
(release me from this love)
(set me free with your love)
If it’s ours it’ll come
Release me
Release me from this love
Release me
Set me free with your love
Yeah…
the war that’s in your mind you explained to me sounds like youre obsessed but
certainly somewhere you will find a place to express your needs you always
insist that place is me you’re right your – holy system is right your right
your – no one can stand al the lies your right your holy system
is right youre right your – the walls been broken down
release me the walls been broken down
before you ever thought you culd bury me i turned off the lights so you cant
see a shadow in the dark that you can barely see surrounded by the
dead that doesnt bleed you’re right your – holy system is right youre right
your no one can stand all the lies youre right your – holy system is right
youre right your – the walls been broken down circles form around me
i cant see staring eyes have brought me to my knees youre right youre right
release me the walls been broken down
I can still feel your teeth marks in my neck,
Your footprints on my back.
And the gris gris you sprinkled in my bed,
Is starting to make me crack.
I can still hear your twang ringin’ in my ear,
Your perfume i still smell.
You brought it way down below the mason-dixon line,
Like your mother, you’re a southern bell.
Chorus
I said release me.
But please don’t let me know.
Release me,
But please don’t let me go.
1st bridge
All my blood’s still boiling.
Like a snake, you come coiling,
Ready to strike!
2nd bridge
All my blood’s still boiling.
Like a snake, you come coiling.
When the night comes down i get a big black fear,
Like the clouds hanging up above.
I don’t want you to possess me but that’s how it is,
I ain’t nothin’ but your slave of love.
Chorus
