Heavens above, his mother would say
My Tommy's in love, he's moody all day
He's out of his mind, suspended in time
But he tries alibis and he tries to explain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
Listen to me, his mother would say
You're young and in love, it won't last that way
You're only a boy, you'll grow up in time
But he tries alibis and he tries to explain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
Tommy's in love, he's always that way
Whatever he does, if only he'd say
He's feeling so fine, she's looking so sweet
But he tries alibis and he tries to explain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
And he tries alibis then he tries to explain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, saying
Let me go, let me,
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
