Never Let You Go
B.o.B Ft Ryan Tedder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
They can take my money
Don't care about that
Let them take my words
It’s all I've got
They can have this fame
It ain't worth a lot
Only thing I know, is I'll never let you go
As she takes the stand
By the look in her eyes I can tell that she knows
That she’s holding the fate of my world in her hands
Damn, fo’ real
This was never the plan
It was never intended for her to end up the defendant
And I guess it just happened by chance
Damn, and you hope
You hopin’ that a miracle happens
You prayed that the judge doesn't bang that gavel
Just so you can go back and avoid a disaster
And you could still be holding her hand
Like the last note of the saddest song
Or like the last word at the end of the poem
You know, there's nothing worse than being alone
It’s funny how you never know what you got ‘til it’s gone
They can take these clothes off my back
They can take my money
Don't care about that
Let them take my words
It’s all I've got
They can have this fame
It ain't worth a lot
Only thing I know, is I'll never let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
What's the one thing in this life that you live for?
Who do you know in the world you would die for?
Who would lie for?
Who if they committed a crime you would stop on a dime and do time for
'Cause it was me she would ride for
And that was her that I cry for
Now I'd give it all away to get her back
'Cause she ain't free, no, just waiting July 4th
Yea, no, it don't sound logical
But there's some things in this life that you gotta do
Brother, one thing in this world that got to you
I'd let it all go but I ain't dropping you
They can take these clothes off my back
They can take my money
Don't care about that
Let them take my words
It’s all I've got
They can have this fame
It ain't worth a lot
Only thing I know, is I'll never let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
It might be wrong or it might be right
But there's no looking back and we won't sleep tonight
We're living while we're young and this is worth the fight
Even if I lost it all
They can take these clothes off my back
They can take my money
Don't care about that
Let them take my words
It’s all I've got
They can have this fame
It ain't worth a lot
Only thing I know, is I'll never let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
No, never gonna let you go
Won't let you go
Never gonna let you go
The lyrics of B.o.B ft. Ryan Tedder's song Never Let You Go convey the unconditional love and commitment a person has for their significant other. The singer is willing to lose everything - their fame, money, and belongings - but one thing they will never let go of is their partner. Even if the world turns against them, and they are left with just their words, they will never let go. The second verse of the song takes a slightly different route, as it depicts the anxiety of a court hearing where the fate of someone dear is at stake. The singer hopes for a miracle to happen, and the judge doesn't convict the person. The song is an ode to love, relationships, and the lengths one goes to protect them.
The chorus of "They can take these clothes off my back / They can take my money / Don't care about that / Let them take my words / It’s all I've got / They can have this fame / It ain't worth a lot / Only thing I know, is I'll never let you go" is repeated multiple times throughout the song, emphasizing that a person's love and affection for their beloved trumps everything else. The bridge "It might be wrong or it might be right / But there's no looking back and we won't sleep tonight / We're living while we're young and this is worth the fight / Even if I lost it all" signifies that the singer is ready to face any challenges and fight for their love, even if it means losing everything.
Overall, B.o.B ft. Ryan Tedder's song Never Let You Go is a poignant and touching tribute to love, relationships, and strong commitments. It conveys the message that love is an essential aspect of life that deserves to be protected at all costs.
