Heavens above, his mother would say
   My Tommy’s in love, he’s moody all day
   He’s out of his mind, suspended in time
  
   But he tries alibis and he tries to explain, saying
   Let me go, let me,
   Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
   And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, saying
   Let me go, let me,
   Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
  
   Listen to me, his mother would say
   You’re young and in love, it won’t last that way
   You’re only a boy, you’ll grow up in time
  
   But he tries alibis and he tries to explain, saying
   Let me go, let me,
   Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
   And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, saying
   Let me go, let me,
   Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
  
   Tommy’s in love, he’s always that way
   Whatever he does, if only he’d say
   He’s feeling so fine, she’s looking so sweet
  
   But he tries alibis and he tries to explain, saying
   Let me go, let me,
   Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
   And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, saying
   Let me go, let me,
   Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
   And he tries alibis then he tries to explain, saying
   Let me go, let me,
   Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
   And he tries little lies, then he tries to refrain, saying
   Let me go, let me,
   Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
