How can I meet other girls when you won't let me go
  My heart's still in a whirl and gee I feel so low
  I don't know why I feel this way
  I'd like to leave if I may
    I can't go to play ,you have got a hold on me
  You make me work all day
  Why don't you set me free
  You're on my mind almost all hours of the day
  I'd like to leave if I may
    It's plain to see that I don't need ya anymore
  Why don't you stay beside , and let me through the door
  I know that in my life I've made one big mistake
  You'll only hurt me more if we don't make the break
  I'm telling you , so hear what I say
  I'd like to leave if I may
    It's plain to see that I don't need ya anymore
  Why don't you stay beside , and let me through the door
  I know that in my life I've made one big mistake
  You'll only hurt me more if we don't make the break
  I'm telling you , so hear what I say
  I'd like to leave if I may
    I'd like to leave if I
  Won't you let me leave if I
  I'd like to leave if I may , if I may
