Shoulda Let You Go lyrics - Keyshia Cole

Just to think about it, I would do things that I would regret (tryna get you to)
To understand how I felt for you
I tried real hard time and time again
but I didn't know
my love wouldn't grow, I should've just let it go
But I stayed around thinking you would learn to love

[Chorus:]
And we both knew, you're wrong
There's nothing you can do, to ever undo what you've done to me
I loved you, deep in my heart I know you couldn't love me
But baby I just kept holding on, I should've let you go
Should've let you go [x3]

Couldn't do without it, I felt I needed you in my world (to get me by, by)
More and more I looked out for you, tried to play me like a fool so I
Didn't care that love wasn't there, had to just let it go
Couldn't stay around, thinking you would learn to love

[Chorus]

[Amina:]
And now I'm gone, plus I'd rather be alone
We both grown, lower your tone over the phone, aaight
I should've known, damn I should've known
It wouldn't last long, when you didn't come home some nights
And now I'm on, in the zone, handle business on my own
So respect the queen on the throne, aaight
Here's some strong advice, move on, that's life
You're wrong, I'm right, and I'm glad I let you go

[Chorus]

Don't know why you would ever lie to me so,
But I should've let you
Don't know why I could never let you go
Could've, should've, let you

Don't know why you would ever lie to me so (should've let you go)
Don't know why I could never let you go.
But I should've I should've go aye... (should've let you go)
Don't know why I could never let you go (but I should've let you).
Everything I did.
Everything I gave, you didn't understand NO!
(Don't know why you would ever lie to me so)
But I should've let.
Baby oh oh I should've let you go (a) long time ago.
AYE!
