Never Letchu Go
勵콜·쌤옹祈Janet Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A funny thing about love with you
Is it ain't it perfect
But we do the best we can
Do you understand
And I love you more than words can say
Here is to knowing that you'll stay
With me through the complications
Baby what I'm saying...

[Chorus]
I don't wanna give up on our fate
And I don't wanna think that it's too late
So if something is broke
Let me go and fix it
And if something is lost
Let me go and get it
Cause I don't wanna stay
And wait all this time
And I'll be next to you
Cause you're the one
I said it twice and I'ma say it once more
You're what I want
I'm never gonna let you go

There are times
When I don't get around to say what I feel like saying no
There are times
When it gets so hard
Feel like I can't take it
You make me want you, fight you
Love you and despise you
Still when it feels like I've got nothing left
I remind myself that

[Chorus]

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa
I'm never gonna let you go
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa
I'm never gonna let you go
Still when it feels like I've got nothing left
I remind myself that

[Chorus]

I, I, I'm never gonna let you go
I, I, I'm never gonna let you go
Whoa, Whoa
Never gonna let you go
Never gonna let you go
Whoa, Whoa
I said I'm never




I'm never gonna let you go
Whoa, Whoa, Whoa, Whoa
