[Verse 1] I was born in the city Oh, but I was born in the country My mother said I didn't have a name But she would have to love me just the same I was looking for something I was looking for something Well, I was looking for a place to go Someplace that maybe I could call my own [Chorus] Just let it go, just let it go cause it's gone You're pointing fingers, you're pointing fingers Just let it go, just let it go, let it die You didn't know it was the very first time [Verse 2] It's getting hard to remember It's getting hard to remember That all the warning signs must be ignored We've got to have the things we can't afford [Chorus] Just let it go, just let it go cause it's gone
You're pointing fingers, you're pointing fingers Just let it go, just let it go, let it die You didn't know it was the very first time Oh, it was the first time Oh, it was the first time Oh, it was the first time Oh, it was the first time [Verse 3] We were k**ing the neighbors And we were laughing in churches I'm very sorry but I disagree I don't know what has gotten into me [Chorus] Just let it go, just let it go cause it's gone You're pointing fingers, you're pointing fingers Just let it go, just let it go, let it die You didn't know it was the very first time Oh, it was the first time Oh, it was the first time Oh, it was the first time Oh, it was the first time
