It's four o'clock, the rain has stopped,   he's in too deep here and out of luck   Nowhere he can go      And his old friends, they left the spot   because of the little time he's got   I'd bet they ever warned him though      CHORUS   If you can't give her her space   we're afraid it's too late   You got to let her go now   or we can't help you, brother      All he thinks, "the love is gone   the broken-hearted they must be strong"   You still got us      Well there's this yearning in the stomach   pain and doubt 'bout why she done it   and pride that tells him to shut up      CHORUS      If you're willing to fight   then you'll make it alright   you just got to let her go now   or we can't help you, brother
