Looking back over my years, I guess I shed a tear
Tried and tried, time and time again, think I'm gonna win
But I know from the first that things ain't right that I'm losing again
Takes a fool to turn twice and start all over again

I think I better let it go
Looks like another love TKO
I think I better let it go
Looks like another love TKO

Tried and tried to take control of my life but they controlled me
Tried to lose all thought, all sense of time, tried to change my mind
Take the bumps and the bruises and all of the things of a two-time loser
Tried to hold on to all of the things that is gone, it's just another sad song

Oh, I think I better let it go
Looks like another love TKO
Oh yes, I think I better let it go
Looks like another love TKO

Tried and tried to take control of my life, they controlled me
Tried to lose all thought, all sense of time, tried to change my mind
Take the bumps and the bruises and all of the things of a two-time loser
Tried to hold on to all of the things that are gone, it's just another sad song

Oh, I think I better let it go
Looks like another love TKO
Oh yes, think I better let it go
Looks like another love TKO

Let it go
Oh, let it go
