Suzi Quatro - Sometimes Love Is Letting Go lyrics

My mama always told me "If you truly love someone, don't hold on too tight, Sometimes love is letting go" Sometimes love is letting go You fall in hard even though He shows you nothing in return But you still give everything 'cause you've yet to learn That if he's yours, one day you'll know 'Cause sometimes love is letting go You know my dad always told me That men don't show their feelings easy So I said "Hey dad, the times I've seen you cry Have been the most precious to me" Sometimes love is letting go Ooh, sometimes love is letting go And when you're scared, scared to let love show And so afraid your heart will break Just let it happen for your heart's sake Sweet emotion, you got to let it flow 'Cause sometimes love (sometimes love) is letting go And when I finally grew up I fell in love, but it didn't last We just didn't belong together any more And I had to be strong and say to myself "Hey girl, sometimes love is letting go" Ooh, sometimes love is letting go And we were flying high, now I'm lying low In your arms like a stranger (stranger) baby you're so cold The truth is plain but rarely told You gotta stop saying "yes" (yes) when you mean "no" 'Cause if he's yours, one day you'll know Sweet emotion, just got to let it flow Sometimes love (sometimes love) is letting go You gotta stop saying "yes" (yes) when you mean "no" Sometimes love (sometimes love) sometimes love is letting go Ooh... Sometimes love...
