Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm gonna pack my tears away
Got no cause to look back
I'm lookin' for me a better way
You see the thing 'bout love
Is that it's not enough
If the only thing it brings you is pain
There comes a time when we could all make a change
Just let go
And let it flow, let it flow, let it flow
Everything's gonna work out right you know
Let go, and let it flow, let it flow, let it flow
Just let it go
Don't nobody want no broke heart
And don't nobody want two time losers
Ain't nobody gonna love you like you are
If you take whatever he brings your way
You see the thing of it
Is we deserve respect
But we can't demand respect without change
There comes a time when we must go our own way
Just let go
And let it flow, let it flow, let it flow
Everything's gonna work out right you know
Let go, and let it flow, let it flow, let it flow
Just let it go
Some times love it can work out right
Sometimes you'll never know
But if it brings only pain in your life
Don't be afraid to let it go
In Toni Braxton's song "Let It Flow," the singer talks about leaving a tumultuous romantic relationship behind and finding a better path for herself. She starts by packing away her tears and deciding to move forward without looking back. Braxton cautions listeners that love alone isn't enough and that there comes a time when we must make a change. Love shouldn't bring only pain; otherwise, we need to let it go.
In the chorus, Braxton encourages listeners to "let it flow." She repeats the phrase like a mantra emphasizing that everything will work out right if we only let go. She stresses the importance of not settling for less than we deserve by accepting whatever our partner brings our way. Braxton leaves no ambiguity when she tells us that we deserve respect, and if we can't demand it from our partners, then it's high time we went our own way.
Overall, "Let It Flow" is an empowering song that inspires courage and self-respect. It urges listeners to be discerning in their romantic lives and not to settle for anything less than they deserve. It's also a song about healing and moving forward from pain to a better place.

First thing Monday morning
I'm gonna pack my tears away
Got no cause to look back
I'm lookin' for me a better day
You see, the thing 'bout love
Is that it's not enough
If the only thing it brings you
Is pain
There comes a time
When we could all
Make a change, darling
Just let go
Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow
Everything's gonna work out right
You know?
Just let go,
Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow
Just let it go,
Baby
Don't nobody want no broke heart
And don't nobody want
No two time losers,
Oh, no
And ain't nobody gonna
Love you like you are
If you take whatever
He brings your way,
Oh, no, no, no
You see the thing of it is
We deserve respect
But we can't demand respect
Without change
Comes a time when
We must go our own way
Just let go
Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow
Everything's gonna work out right
You know?
Just let go,
Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow
Just let it go
'Cause sometimes a love
Can work out right by now
And sometimes
You'll never know it
You never ever gonna know it
But if it brings you pain in your life
Don't be afraid to let it go
Just let go
Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow
And everything's gonna work out right
You know?
Just let go,
Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow
Just let it go
Just let go,
Let it flow, let it flow, let it flow
Just let go,
