If you don't love her you'd better let her go
You better let her go
You'll never fool her
You're bound to let it show
Love's so hard to take
When you have to fake
Everything in return
You just preserve her
When you serve her
A little tenderness
If she's a woman
She'll try to make it last
If you're a man now
You better end it fast
There's no reason here
No treason here
Just the ways of woman's mind
And she has no blame
Will has no shame
She just loves you

And it's not easy
To undo what's done
Nor to speak too freely
To just anyone
And if this takes more
Than you bargained for
Boy it's time you learned
Not to walk so loud
Or talk so proud
When you're comin' on
