Jesse McCartney Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah,
My heart was jumpin' for her
My head was spinnin' in circles
My tongue was tied,
I tried but couldn't find the words

She had them eyes of fire
The ones you can't put out
She saw a sucker for lovin'
And turned my world around

Oh, I just can't let you go
My mind is not my own
And I can't eat, Can't sleep
I'm in too deep
Oh-oh wa oh whoa
I just can't let you go
Oh whoa I just can't let you go, oh

One look in my condition
I see you in my dreams
And every night
I fight to keep my sanity

She's like a roller coaster
And I'm afraid of heights
But still there's nothing to stop me
From getting off this ride

Oh, I just can't let you go
My mind is not my own
And I can't eat, Can't sleep
I'm in too deep
Oh-oh wa oh whoa
I just can't let you go
Oh whoa I just can't let you go, oh

So many times I've tried
To get her out of my life
But she knows I'm addicted to the taste of her lips
My strength is driftin' away
My body's achin' with pain
I can't hold on
I can't hold on
Any longer!

Oh, I just can't let you go
My mind is not my own
And I can't eat, Can't sleep
I'm in too deep
Oh-oh wa oh whoa
I just can't let you go
Oh whoa I just can't let you go, oh

(Woah)
No no no no
(Woah)

Oh, I just can't let you go
My mind is not my own
(My mind is not my own)
And I can't eat, Can't sleep
I'm in to deep
(I'm in too deep)
(I just can't get no sleep baby!)
Oh-oh wa oh woah




I just can't let you go
Yeah! I just can't let you go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jesse McCartney's song "Can't Let You Go" are about being hopelessly in love with someone whom the singer finds irresistible, but who is also trouble, and thus causing him to feel as if he cannot escape from her. The opening lines "My heart was jumpin' for her, My head was spinnin' in circles" indicates his strong feelings towards her. He then goes on to describe her as someone with eyes of fire, someone who knows how to manipulate love, and turns a person's life around. Despite this, the chorus repeats the fact that even though he knows that she may not be good for him, he cannot resist her and cannot let her go. The singer finds himself in a vicious cycle of wanting to break free of her but being drawn back in by her irresistible charm.


The second verse introduces the metaphor of the roller coaster. The singer admits that this woman makes him feel afraid but also acknowledges that he can't seem to stay away from her. The lyrics "So many times I've tried to get her out of my life, but she knows I'm addicted to the taste of her lips" shows that he knows he is addicted to her, but he still cannot resist her. The song ends with an expression of frustration and exhaustion while acknowledging that he simply "Can't Let You Go".

@@theZMINY It is time to repent!
It is time to BORN AGAIN!
It is time to reject all sins!
it is time to pick up your cross and follow the one who redeems your soul.
This world serves BAAL, why you want to do the same?
Are your eyes still blind, that you see not, all the idols of yours are showing off freemasonry hand signs?, neither do you see the clear signs of being inverted? Publicly known as being trans. All the idols of yours, you hear them as a deaf or actually taking a listen? Neither to you see, they all to be members of the same club โ€“ masonry?
GOD โ€“ the creator exist and god of this world exist also.
One redeems, the other deceives. Between these 2 a choosing is to make, WHOM SHALL WE SERVE?
Deuteronomy 30:19
I call heaven and earth to recordย thisย dayย againstย you, that I have set beforeย youย life and death, blessing and cursing: thereforeย chooseย life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Joshua 24:15
And if it seem evil untoย youย to serve the LORD,ย chooseย youย thisย dayย whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.


To the lgbtq++++:
the lgbtq++ club/cult became to be, because of the masons depopulation agendas. search about them. Judge based on knowledge not based on feelings. feelings lie, humans understandings are false. opinions useless. TRUTH alone is what always stays mattering.

LYRICS!!

Hey baby girl, I've been watching you all day (all day, all day, all day)
Man that thing you got behind you is amazing (amazing, amazing, amazing)
You make me want to take you out
And let it rain (let it rain, let it rain, let it rain)
I know you got a man but this is what you should say

Why don't you tell him that I'm leavin' never looking back again
You found somebody who does it better than he can
No more making you cry, no more them gray skies
Girl we flying on the G5
And I'm leavin' never looking back again?
So call you shawty and tell him you found a new man
The one who's so so fly
The one that keep you high
Have me singing all night night night
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, man she got me singing
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

Now if I talk it girl,
You know that I will walk it out (walk it out, walk it out, walk it out)
Man I'll put my money (money) where my mouth is (mouth is, mouth is, mouth is)
Cause you the baddest little thing
That I've ever seen (ever seen, ever seen, ever seen)
So I'ma ask you one time if you got a man

Why don't you tell him that I'm leavin' never looking back again
You found somebody who does it better than he can
No more making you cry, no more them gray skies
Girl we flying on the G5
And I'm leavin' never looking back again?
So call you shawty and tell him you found a new man
The one who's so so fly
The one that keep you high
Have me singing all night night night
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, man she got me singing
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh

Don't stress, don't stress, don't stress
Just tell him to the left left left
Don't stress, don't stress, don't stress
Cause we gone and we gone and we gone
No stress, no stress, no stress
Girl you deserve nothing but the best
No stress, no stress, no stress
Girl you need to tell him

Why don't you tell him that I'm leavin' never looking back again
You found somebody who does it better than he can
No more making you cry, no more them gray skies
Girl we flying on the G5
And I'm leavin' never looking back again?
So call you shawty and tell him you found a new man
The one who's so so fly
The one that keep you high
Have me singing all night night night
Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, man she got me singing
Oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
