I've got to tell you
   I want to tell you
   I've got to tell you
   (Scatting)
   I want to tell you that you got to let it go
   (Scatting)
   I've got to tell you that it's time to let you know
   I want to tell you that you've got to let it go
   I've got to tll you that it's time to let you know
   I want to tell you that you've got to let it go
   I'm believin' too much in all the stuff in my head
   It's a hassle every morning to get up out of bed
   I'm holding on to secrets that are too hard to see
   I'm thinking everybody is a better than me
   I try to keep doing what I think I gotta do
   If I macke a mistake you're gonna think I'm a fool
   I'm always back again to the point where I began
   I'm afraid I need help... don't offer your hand
   I know you know they know we know
   I don't know nothing bur I gotta keep bluffing
   I'm thinking they're thinking you're thinking I'll drink
   Feelin so confused that I think I wanna sink
   So hard to talk when you're walking in shock
   It's so hard to see when you're pretending you're free
   Don't know how to give and I've had all I can take
   Everybody's to blame when you can't play the game

   I've got to tell you that it's time to let you know
   I want to tell you that you've got to let it go
   I've got to tell you that it's time to let you know
   I want to tell you that you've got to let it go
   I been namin' and a gamin' and a framin' and a blamin'
   It's a pattern I've been weavin' for a long long time
   It's hard to begin but surrender means win
   And it certainly is better than losing your mind
   I know you been thinkin' I been talkin' 'bout me
   I made it that way full on purpose you see
   Scatman's really only tryin' to get through to
   Help you discover that he's been talkin' 'bout you
   The things that hold me back are right here in my head
   The saboteur can't endure he has to go to bed
   I want to live life in spite of what I think
   I think that my opinion should be thrown in the sink
   I want to do better but I don't know how
   But if I'm gonna start I better start right know
   I try to survive and I gotta let you know
   If I'm gonna live at all I gotta gotta let it go
   If I'm gonna live at all I gotta gotta let it go

   I've got to tell you that it's time to let you know

   I've got to tell you that it's time to let you know
   I want to tell you that you've got to
   Let it gooooooooooo I've got to tell you
