Well she's back with her old boyfriend.
He don't challenge her. He don't contend with her.
And she don't answer the cards you send.
Now you're jelous of the time he spends with her.
Just let her go into the darkness.
Let her learn from all the things there.
Just let her go into the darkness.
Let her go, let her go, let her go.
You want tell that her that her boyfriends no friend
You want to tell her she don't know where he's at
She won't listen 'cuz she's not listening
Just take them sheets to the laundromat.
And let her go into the darkness.
Let her learn from all the things there.
Just let her go into the darkness.
Let her go, let her go, let her go.
Of course she's taking drugs, what did you expect?
Alcoholic to, yeah, yeah, don't worry about that
It's alright, it's alright, it's all right
Laundromat, laundromat, laundromat
And let her go into the darkness.
Let her learn from all the things there.
Just let her go into the darkness.
Let her go, let her go, let her go.
Oh, you've got your shoes on, you want to take a walk
But you're headed for her neighborhood
You want to talk to her, but she won't wanna talk
You want to warn her how her boyfriends no good, no no
Let her go into the darkness.
Let her learn from all the things there.
Let her go into the darkness.
Let her go, let her go, let her go.
