Let Go
Kris Berry & Perquisite Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You got to let yourself go
You got to let yourself go
And if you don't I will follow you
I will follow you straight home
You got to let yourself go
You got to let yourself go
And if you don't I will follow you
I will follow you straight home

I didn't mean to throw in the towel
This thing wasn't going??
Since I'm stumbling block
We've been walking on??
I didn't mean to throw in the towel
This thing wasn't going??
It's a better feeling
Whispering bells

You got to learn to be loved
You got to learn to be loved
And if you don't
I will testify in the courtroom of romance
You got to learn to be loved
You got to learn to be loved
And if you don't
I will testify in the court of confusion
I didn't mean to throw in the towel
This thing wasn't going??
Since I'm stumbling block
We've been walking on??
I didn't mean to throw in the towel
This thing wasn't going??
It's a better feeling
Whispering bells

The one I love so
Where is Joe
Where did he go
The man I love so
Where is Joe
Where did he go
I didn't mean to throw in the towel
This thing wasn't going??
Since I'm stumbling block
We've been walking on??
I didn't mean to throw in the towel
This thing wasn't going??
It's a better feeling
Whispering bells
Whispering bells
Whispering bells
Whispering bells

Didn't mean
I didn't mean to leave you.
