38 Special - I Outta Let You Go

[Chorus:]
I oughta be shot
For thinkin' that you could love me
I oughta be hung
For keepin' up my hopes
I got to be crazy
For thinkin' that it could work out
I oughta know better
I oughta let go

It's only Monday, and my heart's already broken
I had a feeling it was gonna be different this time
But you were just talkin', going through the motions
You had no intentions of backin' up your lines

I oughta be shot
For thinkin' that you could love me
I oughta be hung
For keepin' up my hopes
I got to be crazy
For thinkin' that it could work out
I oughta know better
I oughta let go

Day after day brings night after night without sleeping
You keep me waitin' and you know what I'm waitin' for
Some kind of affection that I can believe in
You give me just a little, I want a little bit more

I oughta be shot
For thinkin' that you could love me
I oughta be hung
For keepin' up my hopes
I got to be crazy
For thinkin' that it could work out
I oughta know better
I oughta let go

Day after day brings night after night without sleeping
You keep me waitin' and you know what I'm waitin' for
Some kind of affection that I can believe in
You give me just a little, I want a little bit more

[Chorus repeats 2x]

I oughta be shot
For thinkin' that you could love me
I oughta be hung
For keepin' up my hopes
I got to be crazy
For thinkin' that it could work out
I oughta know better
I oughta let go

I oughta know better, I just oughta let go
Man I've got to be crazy, some kind of fever
