谭咏麟的歌曲《Better Let Her Go》讲述了一段复杂的友谊和爱情故事。这首歌通过一个旁观者的视角，表达了对朋友感情受挫的关切与劝解。歌词中，旁观者观察到朋友的伴侣有不忠行为，试图提醒朋友及时止损，避免更深的伤害。整首歌充满了对友情的珍视和对爱情的无奈，展现了人际关系中的矛盾与抉择。
"We have been friends such a long time
I know you trust me
You know that I have never been unkind
But now I must be
Oh can't you see it's so hard for me
To tell you frankly
But man to man I think you'll understand
Someday you'll thank me"
这段歌词传达了旁观者与主角之间的深厚友谊。尽管旁观者非常珍惜这段友谊，但他觉得有必要说出真相。他觉得很难启齿，但相信朋友最终会理解他的良苦用心。
"I saw your girl last night
Out paintin' the town
You know she's messin' around and now
I think you need some good advice
Let her go, let her go
Before she takes you for a fool
Why must a lover be the last to know
Let her go, let her go
Before she breaks your heart in two"
这段歌词中，旁观者直截了当地指出朋友的伴侣在外面花天酒地，不再忠诚。他劝告朋友及时放手，以免被轻易欺骗，成为笑柄。同时，他也感慨恋爱中的人都会最后才明白真相，希望朋友不要等到心碎才后悔。
"She doesn't love you, better let her go
She's got you dancin' upon a string
Just like a puppet
You cannot see her as she really is
That girl is trouble
She'll do you wrong, keep you hangin' on
Until you end it
Make no mistake, only a good clean break
Can soon be mended
It's gonna hurt your pride
But don't wait much longer
It's will only get harder now
I think you'd best make up your mind
Let her go, let her go
Before she takes you for a fool
Why must a lover be the last to know
Let her go, let her go
Before she breaks your heart in two
She doesn't love you, better let her go
Let her go, let her go
Before she takes you for a fool
Why must a lover be the last to know
Let her go, let her go
Before she breaks your heart in two
She doesn't love you, better let her go
Go! Go! You'd better let her go"
这段歌词进一步强调了旁观者对朋友的关心与劝告。他指出对方并不真正爱主角，只是在玩弄他的感情，像提线木偶一样操纵他。旁观者认为只有彻底放手，才能结束这段伤害，尽管这会打击主角的自尊，但拖延只会让情况更糟。他希望朋友能尽快做出决定，避免更大的痛苦。
