(intro 4x)
(verse)
you re gonna get it straight from the shoulder
can t you see the party s over
let me go
(verse)
can t you get it through your thick head
this affair is finished dead
let me go
(verse (type 2))
i tried giving you the velvet gloves
i tried giving you the knockout punch
hey let me go
let me go
let me go
let me go
let me go
(break)
i find it hard to be cruel
i find it hard to be cruel
with a smile don t you?
/B*
You ll never find that perfect love
/B
that you read about
/B
that you dream about
(verse)
maybe i ll become a playboy
hang around in gay bars
and move to the west side of town
(verse)
you re gonna get it straight from the shoulder
can t you see the party s over
hey, let me go
let me go

this affair is dead as a doornail

(verse)
the bell has rung, and i ve called time
the chair is on the table, out the door baby
baby won t you let me go
let me go....
