Let It Ride
Atozzio Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I could
Take it back...
I'm a let it ride... girl

Speeding down the highway
Hundred miles an hour
Switching at the lanes with the radio loud
Adjust the rear-view mirror
But I ain't looking back for her. Oooh
Talkin to myself still tryna figure out
Did all of that just happen at the house
I left all my things
And I just can't turn around

She kept tryna work it out
Someway somehow
And when she tried to talk about it
I said, not now
I'm just a man I don't know why
I do the things I do
I was wrong
And I know it
But that won't change a thing

If I just could take it all back I would
Take all the bad and make it all good
It's too late to change it
That's understood
I'll let it ride (x2)
If I just could take it all back I would
And fix everything I broke if I could
But I'm a just go ahead and let it ride
Let it ride... let it ride...

Shes screamin in an alley
Cause I'm two hours late
The tears messin up the makeup on her face
She can't be this upset cause I missed a date
Something else is on her mind
She knew about the other chick that I've been foolin with
Got up in my face,
I pushed her back a little bit
Then I grabbed my keys
Leapt out the door
Said I don't wanna see her no more

I'm just a man I don't know why I do some of the things I do
I was wrong
And I know it
But that won't change a thing

Only...
If I just could take it all back I would
Take all the bad and make it all good
It's too late to change it
That's understood
I'll let it ride (x2)
If I just could take it all back I would
And fix everything I broke if I could
But I'm a just go ahead and let it ride
Let it ride... let it ride...

Why did I have to lose a good thing
To see a good thing
Now I wanna change
Why do I recognize now
After all that just went down... Ooh
Wish I could turn back time
When everything between us was so right
But I can't so I gotta live with the choice I made...

Oh... Ooooh

If I just could take it all back I would
Take all the bad and make it all good
It's too late to change it
That's understood
I'll let it ride (x2)
If I just could take it all back I would
And fix everything I broke if I could
But I'm a just go ahead and let it ride
Let it ride... let it ride...

If I just could take it all back I would
Take all the bad and make it all good
It's too late to change it
That's understood
I'll let it ride (x2)
If I just could take it all back I would
And fix everything I broke if I could
But I'm a just go ahead and let it ride
Let it ride... let it ride...





If I could... take it back... I'm a let it ride girl
