Let Her Go into the Darkness Songtext

von Jonathan Richman

I heard she's back with her old boyfriend
He don't challenge her, he don't contend with her
And she don't answer the cards you send
And so you're jealous of the time that he spend with her

Just let her go into the darkness
Let her learn from all the things there
Let her go into the darkness
Just let her go, let her go, let her go

You want to tell her that her boyfriend's no friend
You want to tell her that she don't know where he's at
But she won't listen, 'cause she's just not listening
Better take them sheets to the old Laundromat

And let her go into the darkness
Let her learn from all the things there
Let her go into the darkness
Let her go, let her go, let her go, oh

Course she's taking drugs, what did you expect?
An alcoholic, too, yeah, don't worry about that
It's all right, it's all right, it's all right
Laundromat, Laundromat, Laundromat

And let her go into the darkness
Let her learn from all the things there
Let her go into the darkness
Let her go, let her go, let her go

Oh, I see you've got your shoes on
What, you want to go take a walk?
But you're headed for her neighborhood
You want to talk to her, don't you?
She won't want to talk
You want to warn her that her boyfriend's no good?

No, no, no, just let her go into the darkness
Let her learn from all the things there
Let her go into the darkness
Let her go, let her go, let her go, oh, well, well
