[Verse 1]
Tryna pick up the pace
Tryna make it so I never see your face again
Time to throw this away
Wanna make sure that you never waste my time again

[Pre-Chorus 1]
How does it feel
Oh, how does it feel to be you right now, dear?
You broke this apart
So pick up your piece and go away from here

[Chorus]
Please just let me go now
Please just let me go
Would you please just let me go now?
Please just let me go

[Post-Chorus]
Out, I've gotta get you out
I've gotta get you out
I've gotta get you out of my head, get out
I've gotta get you out
I've gotta get you out
I've gotta get you out of my head, get out

[Verse 2]
Never said we'd be friends
Tryna keep myself away from you
'Cause you're bad, bad news
With you gone, I'm alive
Makes me feel like I took happy pills
And time stands still

[Pre-Chorus 2]
How does it feel?
Oh, how does it feel to be the one shut out?
You broke all the rules
I won't be a fool for you no more, my dear

[Chorus]
Please just let me go now
Please just let me go
Would you please just let me go now?
Please just let me go

[Post-Chorus]
Out, I've gotta get you out
I've gotta get you out
I've gotta get you out of my head, get out
I've gotta get you out
I've gotta get you out
I've gotta get you out of my head, get out

[Outro]
Please just let me go now
Please just let me go
Please just let me go now
Please just
Please just get me go now
Please just let me go
Please just let me go now
Please just

The daughter of Beatles collaborator Ravi Shankar (her estranged father whom she had little contact with until her adult years), Norah Jones came into her own after studying at Dallas Booker T. Washington School of the Arts. She later spent two years at the University of North Texas' lauded music program in Denton, Texas – alma mater of such diverse music greats as rocker Don Henley and stalwarts Roy Orbison and Pat Boone.

Jones' goal was always to get to New York City, and she succeeded there after years of tough starter music gigs and the almost-cliched waitress jobs. Her debut album Come Away With Me won 5 Grammy Awards for Jones herself, including “Album of the Year”, and “Record of the Year.” Additionally, it won 3 Grammy awards for “Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical,” “Producer of the Year, Non-Classical,” and “Song of the Year,” for collaborators on the album. It has been Certified 10x Multi-Platinum by the RIAA, having sold 10 million albums.
