Let Go
Rebecca Butler and the Richards Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've had my chances, too many nights
All these broken dreams, they're just drifting away
But I'd do it all again, just to hear, hear you say

[Chorus]
Never let never let you go
I will never let never let you go
I will never let never let you go

Everyone tells me I'm a fool to myself
But I never listen to a word that they say
'cause I've heard it a million times before
And I'd give everything away if you will say

[Chorus]

Never ever let
Tell me that you'll never let you go
Say you'll not leave me baby

Never let
Never ever let you go




I will never let
Never let you go
