Let Go
Brian Cadd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Champagne, a little lo-ove, and a weddin' ring
But everytime she lea-eaves it's gonna break your heart
It's happened before, don't come to me, I do-on't want no part
Let go, it ain't worth it if it hurts you
Let go, you don't need it if-a she-e don't care
Like a good ol' wine or rock 'n' roll
But if it hurts to sa-ay her na-ame, baby let go
First time for both of you makes for urgent love
Gives a feel that it's all unreal, it's from up above
Tellin' some small secret drea-eam and dreams by phone
Terrified there'll be a ti-ime she won't be alone
Let go, it ain't worth it if it hurts you
Let go, you don't need it if-a she-e don't care
Like a good ol' wine or rock 'n' roll
If it feels real good let it move your soul
But if it hurts to sa-ay her na-ame, baby let go
Walk away, leave well alone, you know you should
To be in love has as much that's bad as it has it's good
To counsel friends ain't wi-ise but you sure need to see
You should know that before you, she did the same to me
Tell ya, Let go, it ain't worth it if it hurts you
Let go, you don't need it if-a she don't care
Like a good ol' wine or rock 'n' roll
If it fee-eels real good let it move your soul
But if it hurts to sa-ay her na-ame, baby let go-o
Like a good ol' wine or rock 'n' roll
If it feels real good let it move your soul
But if it hurts to say her name, baby let go-hoh
But if it hurts to say her name, baby let go-hoh
But if it hurts to say her-er name, baby let go-hoh
Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
The song "Let Go" by Brian Cadd is a cautionary tale about the pain and heartbreak that can come with love. The lyrics describe the typical romantic cliches of moonlight, roses, champagne, and weddings, but warn the listener that falling too hard for someone who doesn't reciprocate your feelings will only lead to hurt. The singer urges the listener to let go of the relationship if it causes them pain, and to seek counsel from others who have been through the same experience.
The song also touches on the idea that the first time you fall in love can make it feel like it's a divine experience, but ultimately, it can lead to heartbreak, secrets, and fear. The line "To be in love has as much that's bad as it has it's good" is a reminder that while love can bring joy and fulfillment, it can also bring pain and disappointment.

The voice, the hair, the beard, what didn't this man possess? Love it and the 70s were simply the best decade for brilliant music and great times.

This song brings back wonderful memories I have from 70's. The rest of the 70's was really bad
