Let Her Go Lyrics - Singles - The Matinee

love ain't kind to old Maria 

she sings a sad sad song, every man has done her wrong 

love is blind says old Maria 

how else do you explain how she's leaving on her own alone again 

but i know she's waiting for a better man to come along and take her 

just let her go 

and i know she's waiting for a better man to come along and take her 

just let her go 

you'd be so lucky just to meet her 

but good luck passing her by, and that's no word of a lie 

she's the kind you'd want to keep her 

i'm not man enough myself, and i'm no saint so i guess it's just as well 

but i know she's waiting for a better man to come along and take her 

just let her go 

and i know she's waiting for a better man to come along and take her 

just let her go 

it's an empty heart of gold that's just weighing her down 

it's only foolish love she finds but it's the best she's ever found 

won't be long before somebody comes around and takes this girl away 

but no no no no not today 

but i know she's waiting for a better man to come along and take her 

just let her go 

and i know she's waiting for a better man to come along and take her 

just let her go
