Let Me Out Lyrics

One, two, three, four!

Let me out
Come and get me out
'cause I've been stuck in for too long

Let me out, out
Come get me out
Baby, maybe be where I belong
The time is right for stepping out in the light
My cup is full
And I'll be pulling the wool tonight
Tonight

Let me out
Come get me out
You know that she don't understand
Let me out, out
Come get me out
Baby, now I'm living for the band

It's getting tighter
And I'm feeling the bite
But I don't care
Because I'm getting my share tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, whoo!

Let me out
Come get me out
I'm just a prisoner of your love
Let me out, out
Come get me out
Baby, I will never have enough

I guess I'm getting
While the getting is right
She may be faking
But I'm taking my chance tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Let me out
Let me out
Let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out

Let me out, let me out
Let me out, wah wah, let me out

Let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out
Let me out!

Oh Tara

One, two, three, four!

Let me out 
Come and get me out 
'cause I've been stuck in for too long

Let me out, out 
Come get me out 
Baby, maybe be where I belong
The time is right for stepping out in the light
My cup is full 
And I'll be pulling the wool tonight
Tonight

Let me out 
Come get me out 
You know that she don't understand
Let me out, out 
Come get me out 
Baby, now I'm living for the band

It's getting tighter 
And I'm feeling the bite
But I don't care 
Because I'm getting my share tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, whoo!

Let me out 
Come get me out 
I'm just a prisoner of your love
Let me out, out 
Come get me out 
Baby, I will never have enough

I guess I'm getting 
While the getting is right
She may be faking 
But I'm taking my chance tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight

Let me out
Let me out
Let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out

Let me out, let me out
Let me out, wah wah, let me out

Let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out
Let me out, let me out
Let me out!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Let Me Out lyrics by Knack, The

It's amazing to me that this post is the only one on this entire track list other than the song, "My Sharonna!" This whole album is incredible and it's sad that one song is all that is remembered from this great album, and band. The production, song writing and performance quality of this and all their albums is incredible! It's time that people listen and appreciate all of their work. It's THAT great!

@joey503 What always bugs me is that The Knack is considered a one hit wonder. Good Girls Don't was also a big hit.
