[Verse 1]
I say "Goodnight, night"
I tuck him in tight
But things are not right
What is this? An infant kiss
That sends my body tingling?
I've never fallen for
A little boy before
No control

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Just a kid and just at school
Back home they'd call me dirty
His little hand is on my heart
He's got me where it hurts me
Knock, knock - who's there in this baby?
You know how to work me

[Chorus]
All my barriers are going
It's starting to show
Let go, let go
Let go, let go, let go

[Verse 2]
I cannot sit and let
Something happen I'll regret
Ooh, he scares me
There's a man behind those eyes
I catch him when I'm bending
Ooh, how he frightens me
When they whisper privately
Poor, stupid girl
Windy-wailey blows me

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Words of caress on their lips
That speak of adult love
I want to smack but I hold back
I only want to touch
But I must stay and find a way
To stop before it gets too much

[Chorus]
All my barriers are going
It's starting to show
Let go, let go
Don't let go
Let go, let go, let go

Kate Bush is an art pop singer and songwriter from Bexleyheath, a suburb of London, England. Her debut single “Wuthering Heights” hit number one on the UK charts in 1978, winning her a Brit award for best female performance, and propelling her into fame.

She went on to write, record and produce ten studio albums including her UK bestselling fifth album, Hounds of Love in 1985.

She is known for her experimental musical style and live performances, but has only toured twice – first in 1979 then 35 years later in 2014 – both of which have received releases in the form of either an EP, LP and/or video.
