Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

How would you like it if I moved on
If there ain't nothing wrong, yeah
Everything's between us good

How would you like it if I left you alone
Didn't even pick up the phone, no
All I wanna know is, yeah

Would you stay? Would you go?
You say I was wrong but
I just want you to know
That none of it was intentional
I'm sorry a million times
Baby I apologize,
For everything that I did to you
But I can't let you go,

What was wrong witcha?
What did I do wrong?
Cause I didn't mean to bring you no harm
I can't let you go
I'm loosing control
I can't let you go
I can't let you go

What if I told you that
I couldn't do it without ya g-g-girl
Don't you know that
I would ride it out for you
So can we be best friends
Together until the end
I got you back again
That's all that matters... so,

Would you stay? Would you go?
You say I was wrong but
I just want you to know
That none of it was intentional
I'm sorry a million times
Baby I apologize,
For everything that I did to you
But I can't let you go,

What was wrong witcha?
What did I do wrong?
Cause I didn't mean to bring you no harm
I can't let you go
I'm loosing control
I can't let you go
I can't let you go

Go, go, I-I-I can't let you go
Go, go, I-I-I can't let you go
Go, go, I-I-I can't let you go
Go, go, I can't let you go

Go, go, I-I-I can't let you go
Go, go, I-I-I can't let you go
Go, go, I-I-I can't let you go
Go, go,

What was wrong witcha?
What did I do wrong?
Cause I didn't mean to bring you no harm
I can't let you go
I'm loosing control

I can't let you go

What was wrong witcha?
What did I do wrong?
Cause I didn't mean to bring you no harm
I can't let you go
I'm loosing control

I can't let you go
I can't let you go
