Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love you the right way he ain't gonna
It ain't where he's at its where he
Where he wanna be
(Huh huh oh)
(Huh huh oh)
(Huh huh oh)
(I don't want yo man)
'Cause I got it like that
But it ain't even gotta be like that
(Eh he he he he)
Yo man he be calling me back
'Cause see I'm fine and a matter of fact
(Eh he he he he)
He asked how I do that that
Fit my jeans over baby fat
Listen
I don't know the type of tricks he playin
But I should warn you I don't want ya man
I understand why you wanna try
Make him stay home late at night
But if wanna go he'll be gone no lie
I can't explain how many times I tried
How many times I cried
Thinking about mine and where he might be
Remember when I gave everything I got
Couldn't get deep down inside
How ya love someone who didn't love me
But now I get if he don't wanna
Love you the right way he ain't gonna
It ain't where he's at it's where he
Where he wanna be
If he ain't gonna love you
The way he should
Then let it go
If he ain't gonna treat you
The way he should
Then let it go
If he ain't gonna love you
The way he should
Then let it go
If he ain't gonna treat you
The way he should
Then let it go
When this song come on in the club
They gon be like damn that's hot
And when they play it in they car
They gon drop they tops like damn that's hot
They gon mix it wit Biggie "It was all a dream" like damn that's hot
Me and Keyshia won't stop
Til the tick don't tock like damn that's hot
Now understand why I take my time
'Cause you come wit alibis
Trying to get me to see that's where you trying to be
But I don't want yo man
Your man's been calling me
Trying to get me to see
That he wants me to be wit him
But he ain't the one for me
And if you only knew
You would
Do what you had to
Finally see that
You need to get if he don't wanna
Love you the right way he ain't gonna
It ain't where he's at its where he
Where he wanna be
Here's a little lesson Lil Kim don't stress 'em
Kick 'em all straight to the curb like Beckham
Broke up wit my Ex he wit her for now but
Little do she know she just a rebound
Callin' my phone she so outta pocket
I been there before old girl you need to stop it
When he's wit you he's wishin' it was me
You might be where he's at but I'm where he wanna be (baby baby)
If he ain't gonna love you
The way he should
Then let it go
If he ain't gonna treat you
The way he should
Then let it go
If he ain't gonna love you
The way he should
Then let it go
If he ain't gonna treat you
The way he should
Then let it go
When this song come on in the club
They gon be like damn that's hot
And when they play it in they car
They gon drop they tops like damn that's hot
They gon mix it wit Biggie "It was all a dream" like damn that's hot
Me and Keyshia won't stop
Til the tick don't tock like damn that's hot
The song Let It Go is a powerful anthem for women who are struggling in their relationships. The lyrics convey the message that if a man is not willing to love and treat his partner right, then it's time to let him go. The first verse, sung by Keyshia Cole, emphasizes that a man who doesn't want to love his partner the right way won't change, and it's not about where he is, it's where he wants to be. In the chorus, the message is clear that if a man isn't treating his partner the way he should, then it's time to let him go.
Missy Elliott's verse serves as a warning to the other woman, who is trying to steal her man. The verse conveys that Lil' Kim is not interested in the other woman's man because, despite his attempts to win her over, she realizes he's not the one for her. Lil' Kim's verse serves as a reminder that women should never feel the need to settle for someone who isn't treating them right or loving them the way they deserve to be loved.
The song's overall message is empowering and encourages women to stand up for themselves and their self-worth. It's a reminder that they should never settle for less than they deserve.

Broke up wit my Ex he wit her for now but
I broke up with my ex, he is with her for now but
Little do she know she just a rebound
She doesn't know that she is just a temporary replacement
Callin' my phone she so outta pocket
She is calling my phone and being rude
I been there before old girl you need to stop it
I have been in her situation before, she needs to stop
When he's wit you he's wishin' it was me
When he is with her, he wishes he was with me
You might be where he's at but I'm where he wanna be (baby baby)
You might be with him physically, but he wants to be with me emotionally (baby baby)
