Out on the town with the friend of a friend I'm not ready, I'm not ready When something else hadn't come to an end… Oh let go, oh let go Please have the grace to let me go I see no point in going on Till night and day you are the one Stop by the house of a friend of a friend Saying something, saying nothing Just to go through the motions once again… I'm not ready, I'm not ready Oh let go, oh let go Please have the grace to let me go I see no point in going on Till night and day you are the one Oh come on, can't you see This isn't the place I want to be And you know it can't be right When somebody else is waiting outside Found in the arms of a friend of a friend I'm not ready, I'm not ready Came to, adrift in a big double bed… Let me go Oh let go, oh let go Please have the grace to let me go I see no point in going on Till night and day you are the one Oh come on, can't you see This isn't the place I want to be And you know it can't be right While older flames are burning inside I must go, I must go Please understand I have to go And it's no reflection on you Just far too soon for somebody new
