Let Go
Cadd Brian Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Moonlight and roses are the goin' thing
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
If it fee-eels real good let it move your soul
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

Overall Meaning

The song "Let Go" by Cadd Brian is an advice to someone who is struggling to let go of a toxic relationship. The first verse talks about how society romanticizes the idea of 'moonlight and roses' and how people feel obligated to stick to relationships because of societal norms. The singer, however, cautions against allowing oneself to be hurt repeatedly, advising that it's not worth it if it hurts you. The chorus emphasizes the need to let go if the love is one-sided or if it's causing hurt.


The second verse describes the initial, heady days of new and urgent love, with the couple sharing secrets and dreams. But there's a hint of insecurity and fear, with the woman being terrified of being alone. The singer urges the listener to walk away while they still can, pointing out that being in love has both good and bad sides. The bridge suggests seeking counsel from friends who have gone through similar situations and to let go if it hurts to say her name.

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
