Let's Stay Together
Aaron Neville Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whatever you want to do
Is all right with me
you make me feel so brand new
And I want to spend my whole life with you
Since, baby since we've been together
Loving you forever
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue
Let's, let's stay together
Lovin' you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad
Why, why some people break up
Then turn around and make up
I just can't see
You'd never do that to me (would you, baby)
Staying around you is all I see
(Here's what I want us to do)
Let's, we outta stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
Aaron Neville's song, Let's Stay Together, is a sweet love ballad that expresses the singer's tremendous love and devotion to his partner. The song begins with Neville stating that he is deeply in love with his partner and is willing to do whatever it takes to make their relationship work. He lets them know that he approves of any decision they make because they make him feel new.
Neville's love for his partner stems from the fact that they have been together for a while now, and he hopes they will stay together for the rest of their lives. He declares that he would never let anything break them apart and would be there for them through thick and thin. The chorus represents the climax of the song, with Neville urging his partner to stay with him no matter what happens. He loves them unconditionally and is ready to weather any storm with them.
The second verse of the song challenges the common narrative that many people break up only to make up later. Neville emphasizes that he cannot understand why people would do that to someone they claim to love, and he trusts his partner not to hurt him in such a manner. The song ends with Neville repeating the chorus and urging his partner to stay with him.
