I Can’t Let You Throw Yourself Away Lyrics

[Chorus]
I can't let you, I can't let you
I can't let you throw yourself away
I can't let you (I can't let you), I can't let you (I can't let you)
I can't let you throw yourself away

[Verse 1]
Don't you wanna see the sun come up each morning?
Don't you wanna see the sun go down each day?
Don't you wanna see that little girl who loves you so?
Her heart would break if you should go

[Chorus]
I can't let you, I can't let you
I can't let you throw yourself away
I can't let you (I can't let you), I can't let you (I can't let you)
I can't let you throw yourself away

[Verse 2]
Son, it seems to me like you're never gonna behave yourself
Since I'm not gonna do this every day
Come tomorrow, you're gonna have to save yourself
Got nothin' more to say, you're not listenin' anyway

[Outro]
I can't let you (I can't let you), I can't let you (I can't let you)
I can't let you throw yourself away
I can't let you (I can't let you), I can't let you (I can't let you)
I can't let you throw yourself away
I can't let you (I can't let you), I can't let you (I can't let you)
I can't let you throw yourself away
I can't let you (I can't let you), I can't let you (I can't let you)
I can't let you throw yourself away

[Chorus]
I can't let you, I can't let you
I can't let you throw yourself away
I can't let you (I can't let you), I can't let you (I can't let you)
I can't let you throw yourself away

[Verse 1]
Don't you wanna see the sun come up each morning?
Don't you wanna see the sun go down each day?
Don't you wanna see that little girl who loves you so?
Her heart would break if you should go

[Chorus]
I can't let you, I can't let you
I can't let you throw yourself away
I can't let you (I can't let you), I can't let you (I can't let you)
I can't let you throw yourself away

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.
