He wondered how she'd take it When he said goodbye Thought she might do some cryin' Lose some sleep at night But he had no idea When he hit the road That without him in her life She'd let herself go She let herself go on a single's cruise To vegas once then honolulu Let herself go to new york city A week at the spa Came back knocked out 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 raisin' babies ironing his pants Came home one day from the grocery store And found his note And without 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 to the beach He'd always said was too far Sand sure felt good between her toes To vegas once... honolulu... new york city Came back... Knocked out pretty... bought a brand new car 2002 10
