Lyrics:
Moonlight and roses are the going thing
Champagne, a little love, and a wedding ring
But every time she leaves, it′s gonna break your heart
It’s happened before, don′t come to me, I don’t want no part
Let go, it ain’t worth it if it hurts you
Let go, you don′t need it if she don′t care
Like a good ol’ wine or rock ′n’ roll
If it feels real good let it move your soul
But if it hurts to say her name, baby, let go
