The Spinners – How Could I Let You Get Away Lyrics 4 years ago
I think this song is simply a man singing about how he placed other priorities over the lady he loved and couldn’t even see her and her needs right there in front of him until it was too late. He didn’t “count his sheep” like a shepherd does to make sure that they are all accounted for and tended to. He exercised things like mother goose, and did just the opposite of pulling her closer, and instead pushed her away. He “fouled out” of the game of Love by not tending to his sheep, the one that got away, the “lost sheep”. Now everyone is laughing at him, including his own conscience, because he was so foolish.
