I Just Can't Let Go
Ambrosia Lyrics

Oh, what's the matter baby? Is the truth too hard to hear?
Asking if hearing the truth is difficult for the other person

Well, I think you know I'm not the one who lied
Asserting that the singer did not lie

And now it's all behind us and we both play out our lives
Acknowledging that they have moved on with their lives

But the years don't change the way I feel inside
Expressing that the singer's feelings have not changed despite the passage of time

So we play the game out
Continuing to go through the motions

Though it feels the same now are you missin' me?
Wondering if the other person misses the singer despite the familiarity

Well now, baby just be aware
Advising the other person to be aware

Of how much I still care oh, I need your love
Expressing the depth of the singer's care and need for the other person's love

I gave to you my heart and soul
Stating that the singer has given everything to the other person emotionally

Now I just need to let you know
Declaring the need to be heard by the other person

You're part of me that I just can't let go, go
Expressing that the other person is an integral part of the singer's life

Well, tell me somethin' baby is there still some thing inside
Asking if the other person still has feelings for the singer

To remind you of the way it used to be?
Asking if there are reminders of their past relationship

And how the years have rolled by still there's somethin' I must say
Acknowledging the passage of time but declaring that there is something that needs to be said

No one ever could have loved you more than me
Stating that the singer's love for the other person was unmatched

So I'm passin' time now
Admitting to simply passing time without the other person

Wishin' you were mine now are you missin' me?
Expressing a desire for the other person to miss the singer

Well you know it's not too late
Suggesting that there is still a chance for them

Oh, how long must I wait oh, to hear you say
Expressing impatience and a desire to be told how the other person feels

Everywhere I go there's a memory and if you can't decide on me
Noting that memories of the other person are everywhere and asking the other person to make a decision

Well you gotta make up your mind
Urging the other person to make a decision

Someday you're gonna find you just might need me
Asserting that the other person will eventually realize they need the singer

Well now, baby just be aware
Repeating the earlier advice to the other person

Of how much I still care
Reiterating the depth of the singer's care for the other person

I gave to you my heart and soul
Repeating an earlier line about emotional investment in the other person

You're part of me that I just can't let go
Affirming that the other person is an indispensable part of the singer's life

Can't let go, babe, no
Echoing the refrain and the inability to let go of the other person

But I need you baby, so bad, baby
Emphasizing how much the singer needs the other person

No matter how many years we're apart
Reiterating that time and distance cannot change their connection

I still hold you here in my heart, baby
Confessing that the other person is still held dear in the singer's heart

Ah, just can't let go, just can't let go
Repeating the inability to let go of the other person

Yeah, ooh
