He wondered how she'd take it, when he said goodbye
Thought she might do some crying, lose some sleep at night
But he had not idea, when he hit the road
That without him in her life
She'd let herself go

Let herself go
On a singles cruise
To vegas once then to honolulu
Let herself go
To new york city
A week at the spa
Came back knock down pretty
When he said he didn't love her no more
She let herself go

She poured her heart and soul into their three bedroom ranch
Spent her days raising babies, ironing his pants
Came home one day from the grocery store and found his note
And with out him there to stop her
She let herself go

Let herself go
On her first blind date
Had the time of her life
With some friends at the lake
Let herself go
Buy a brand new car
Drove down to the beach
He always said was too far

Sand sure felt good between her toes
She let herself go
On a singles cruise
To vegas once then to honolulu
Let herself go
To new york city
A week at the spa
Came back knock down pretty
When he said he didn't love her no more
She let herself go

To vegas once
Honolulu
New york city
Came back knock down pretty
