[Intro]
I'll say it one more time, leave all your troubles behind
I'll say it one more time, leave all your troubles behind
I'll say it one more time, leave all your troubles behind
I'll say it one more time, leave all your troubles behind
I'll say it one more time, leave all your troubles behind
I'll say it one more time, leave all your troubles behind (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
I'll say it one more time, leave all your troubles behind
I'll say it one more time, leave all your troubles behind (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
I'll say it one more time, leave all your troubles behind
I'll say it one more time, leave all your troubles behind (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
I'll say it one more time, leave all your troubles behind
I'll say it one more time, leave all your troubles behind
I'll say it one more time, leave all your troubles behind
I'll say it one more time, leave all your troubles behind

[Verse 1]
You said you always knew what we had was real
But I wasn't ready to face the truth
Until you took my hand and made it clear to me
That love like nothing else can set your mind at ease
Nothing could change your mind, I saw it in your eyes (Your eyes)
'Cause you knew in time I'd come around (I'd come running around)
Ever since that day, you made it clear to me
That love like nothing else can set your mind at ease
You said

[Chorus]
Release yourself (Release yourself)
Let your love run free (Hey, hey, hey, hey, yeah)
Don't hold back for a moment
Just give it all to me (Come on, y'all)
Release yourself (Release yourself)
Let your love run free (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Don't hold back for a moment
Just give it all to me

[Post-Chorus]
(Release)
I'll say it one more time, leave all your troubles behind
I'll say it one more time, leave all your troubles behind
I'll say it one more time, leave all your troubles behind
I'll say it one more time, leave all your troubles behind

[Verse 2]
Nothing could change your mind, I saw it in your eyes (Your eyes)
'Cause you knew in time I'd come around (I'd come running around)
Ever since that day, you made it clear to me
That love like nothing else can set your mind at ease
You said

[Chorus]
Release yourself (Release yourself)
Let your love run free (Oh)
Don't hold back for a moment (Yeah, yeah)
Just give it all to me (Come on, y'all)
Release yourself (Release yourself)
Let your love run free (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Don't hold back for a moment
Just give it all to me

[Post-Chorus]
I'll say it one more time, leave all your troubles behind
(Come on, girl, release yourself)
I'll say it one more time, leave all your troubles behind
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'll say it one more time, leave all your troubles behind
(You said it)
I'll say it one more time, leave all your troubles behind

[Refrain]
Hear what I'm saying to you (Get on up, release, let go)
Gotta release yourself, whoa, whoa, whoa
Hear what I'm saying to you (Release)
Gotta release yourself

[Instrumental Break]
