You're gonna get it straight from the shoulder
Can't you see the party's over
Let me go


Can't you get it through your thick head
This affair is finished - dead

Hey, let me go

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


I find it hard to be cruel
I find it hard to be cruel

With a smile, don't you?
You'll never find that perfect love
That you read about

That you dream about

Maybe I'll become a playboy

Hang around in gay bars
And move to the west side of town



You're gonna get it straight from the shoulder
Can't you see the party's over

Hey, let me go
Let me go


So you think I'm giving you the brush off
Well I'm just telling you to shove off
Hey, let me go


This ain't no time to waste my breath
We're going into sudden death

Hey, let me go

Can't you get it through your thick head

This affair is dead as a doornail
Hey, baby won't you let me go


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...
