Oh I tried and I tried but I can't say good-bye
Feel so bad baby
Oh it hurts me
When I think of how you love and desert me
I'm the broken-hearted toy you play with

You got me going
I need you baby
I can't let go
And I want you baby
I gotta have all your love
I can't let go

Though I'm just one of your lovers
And I know there are so many others
You do something strange to me baby

You got me going
I need you baby
I can't let go
And I want you baby
I gotta have all your love
I can't let go

Oh I tried and I tried but I can't say good-bye
I know that it's wrong and I should be so strong
But the thought of you gone
Makes me want to hold on

You got me going
I need you baby
I can't let go
And I want you baby
I gotta have all your love
I can't let go

You got me going
I need you baby
I can't let go
And I want you baby
I gotta have all your love
I can't let go

I can't let go
I can't let go
I can't let go
I can't let go
I can't let go

１９７８年還被US雜誌與史蒂芙妮克絲（Stevie Nicks）　卡莉賽門（Carly Simon）　瓊妮米雪兒（Joni Mitchell）並列為‘搖滾天后（The Queens of Rock）’之一琳達是第一個擁有六張白金大碟的女歌手

其中五張是連續推出　當時沒有女藝人擁有這種紀錄

１９８０年初 她推出〔Mad Love〕專輯

在上張冠軍大碟〔Living In USA〕已開始嘗試彼時剛流行的新浪潮樂風 〔Mad Love〕則是整張專輯完全投入這種風格　並加入龐克風格

裡邊翻唱英國新浪潮與龐克搖滾歌手三首作品

專輯一發行便空降排行榜＃５　成為當時女歌手首週最高名次

最後拿到＃３　並成為琳達第七張百萬白金專輯

朗絲黛並第六度登上滾石雜誌封面　成為當時女歌手一項紀錄
大碟總共推出四首主打

最後一曲是重唱１９６５年英國流行樂團Hollies的舊作〔I Can’t Let Go／我無法釋懷〕
這是一首節奏輕快的流行搖滾
尤其是在Chorus琳達朗絲黛中氣十足　豐沛飽滿的主唱與合聲兩相交替之下
宛如兩部合唱　非常精彩
此曲在流行榜得到＃３１ 成人抒情榜＃４８
雖然成績並沒十分出色　但〔I Can’t Let Go〕仍是朗絲黛單曲中頗受歡迎的一首

儘管〔Mad Love〕依舊在商業上獲得成功
也推薦給各位
