Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I try but I can't just let it go (Let it go yea)
I don't care bout what you think you know (What you know yea)
Got time on my hands, gon take it slow (Take it slow yea)
You know I might just call on the phone
(Brrr, yea yea)

You know that I know you will be home (Will be home yea)
Shawty one or the other, not both (Yea yea, aye)
Why can't you just ever let it go (Let it go yea)
Let it go, yea yea

Place blame
I might just come right out
And say things
That maybe I'm not proud of
I just wanna play nice
You've been testing my pride
Then I opened my eyes babe
Saw you playing my life babe

Answer the call
Pick up the phone when you want
You know that I'm gonna get it
Call you like twice in a minute
This isn't new
What you gon do?
This isn't news to me
Pick up the phone
Ain't got a clue
No going over me

Then we gon talk a lot, never gon say goodbye, only gon say goodnight, yea

I try but I can't just let it go (Let it go yea)

Got time on my hands, gon take it slow (Take it slow yea)
You know I might just call on the phone

Yo for one of the Meamda Mondays or just another reaction could you check Arin Ray’s new album Platinum Fire? It’s got a old school R&B sound with a new school flare. I think it’s a really solid R&B album
