Let it Go lyrics

[ALEXANDER]

What in the hell was that?

What in the hell are you doing downtown?

Don't you know that Burr is going to run against your father to humiliate me and try to bring us down?

I will not let our family be embarrassed like this

I'll grab a pen and paper, let the whole world know

You swing at my family you better not miss

You better have another punch to throw

[ELIZA]

You could let it go

Stay alive for me

Let it go

Live to fight another day

People will always be critical

They'll make the personal political

They'll try to knock you off your pedestal, your pinnacle

Let other people be cynical

Let it go

You're smiling because you know I'm right

[ALEXANDER]

Ha!

[ELIZA]

And you know if the president were here he would tell you the same thing

[ALEXANDER]

No, the president's not here—

[WASHINGTON]

I heard about Burr

You didn't kill him did you?

[ALEXANDER]

Were you here this whole time?

[WASHINGTON]

Let it go

Stay alive for me

[WASHINGTON/ELIZA]

Let it go

[ELIZA]

Let it slide right by

[WASHINGTON]

Let it slide right by

[ELIZA]

You don't have to bring a gun to a knife fight

It's not a case of your money or your life, right?

[WASHINGTON]

You know you really oughta listen to your wife, right?

[ALEXANDER]

I know

[ELIZA]

So let it go

[BURR]

Talk less!

[ENSEMBLE]

Burr!

[BURR]

Smile more!

[ENSEMBLE]

Burr!

[BURR]

Don’t let ‘em know what you’re against or what you’re for!

[ENSEMBLE]

Burr!

[BURR]

Shake hands with him!

[ENSEMBLE]

Burr!

[BURR]

Charm her!

[ENSEMBLE]

Ladies and gentlemen welcome Senator Aaron Burr!

[ELIZA]

Ooooh

[WASHINGTON]

Let everybody know

You can take a body blow

Let everybody know

You can learn to let it go

[ELIZA]

Look around, look around at how

Lucky you are to be alive right now

[WASHINGTON]

Let everybody know

You can take a body blow

Let everybody know

You can take a body blow

Let everybody know

You can take a body blow

Let everybody know

You can take a body blow

[ELIZA]

Look around, look around at how

Lucky you are to be alive right now

If somebody tries to lay you low

[ELIZA/WASHINGTON]

Let it go
