Can You Say
Kaysha & Teeyah Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want you back

I know I been wrong from the start
When I told you I was leaving
Now I’m all alone what have I done
Could you ever forgive me

Don’t you think it’s too easy
After all this time
I wish I could tell you that
But I want you back
(I’m sorry)
Day and night I think of it
That you’re still on my mind
I wanna give you another chance
Cause I must admit that

I can’t let you go girl
It’s the feeling that I feel
I know that it’s for real
I can’t let you go boy
It’s the feeling that I feel
I know we are for real

Baby you had my heart and you broke it
I know only you can fix it
Just one thing, if I ever cry again
(never)
You will make me go crazy

I know I’ve been a fool but
Al I need is one more chance
Even if they don’t agree with me
Yeah yeah
I’m willing to do it all one more time
The love, the trust, the ups and downs
So please forgive me

I can’t let you go girl
It’s the feeling that I feel
I know that it’s for real
I can’t let you go boy
It’s the feeling that I feel
I know we are for real

I can’t let you go girl
It’s the feeling that I feel
I know that it’s for real
I can’t let you go boy
It’s the feeling that I feel
I know we are for real

I love you
I still love you
I love you forever
I want let you go

I can’t let you go girl
It’s the feeling that I feel
I know that it’s for real
I can’t let you go boy




It’s the feeling that I feel
I know we are for real
