CAN’T LET HER GET AWAY

Written and Composed by Michael Jackson and Teddy Riley

I thought she had to have it

Since the first time she came

Who knows the situation

Mysteries do remain

And now I wonder why

I breakdown when I cry

Is it something I said

Or is it just a lie?

(Is it just a lie?)

I try so hard to love you

Some things take

Time and shame

I think the whole world

Of you

Your thoughts of me remain

I’ll play the fool for you

I’ll change the rules for you

Just say it and I’ll do

Just make this thing come true

(Make this dream come true)

If I let her get away

Though I’m begging

On my knees

I’ll be crying everyday

Knowing the girl

That got away

I can’t let

I can’t let her get away

I can’t let

I can’t let her get away

I can’t let

I can’t let her get away

I can’t let

I can’t let her get away

I tried to mastermind it

By saying let it be

But every time I did it

The hurt came back at me

I told you that I need you

A thousand times and why

I played the fool for you

And still you said goodbye

(Still you said goodbye)

If I let her get away

Then the world will

Have to see

A fool who lives alone

And the fool who

Set you free

I can’t let

I can’t let her get away

I can’t let

I can’t let her get away

I can’t let

I can’t let her get away

I can’t let

I can’t let her get away

I’ve got the feelin’

Can’t let go

Can’t let go

I can’t let

I can’t let her get away

I can’t let

I can’t let her get away

I can’t let

I can’t let her get away

I can’t let

I can’t let her get away

I can’t let

I can’t let

I can’t let

I can’t let

I can’t let

I can’t let

I can’t let her get away

I can’t let

I can’t let her get away

I can’t let

I can’t let her get away

I can’t let

I can’t let her get away

I can’t let

I can’t let

I can’t let

I can’t let her get away

I can’t let

I can’t let her get away
