Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got some feelings and I'm gonna have to let them show
It's been fun, getting drunk, staying up all night
Being dumb, making love, till the morning light
But I got a feeling that I'm gonna have to let you go
And you already know, yeah, yeah
Don't, don't, don't do that
Been a long, long day
And I'm just tryna relax
With all due respect
You don't give me no respect
What the hell did you expect?
You played with my head now I'll never forget
I got a feeling that I'm gonna have to let you go
I got some feelings and I'm gonna have to let them show
It's been fun, getting drunk, staying up all night
Being dumb, making love, till the morning light
I got a feeling that I'm gonna have to let you go
And you already know, yeah, yeah
Been a minute since I lived the single life
Thought that I was gonna turn you to my wife, but you know
We're always running in circles
Can't seem to make up our minds
Are we going all the way,
Can we make it through the day
Without the headaches and the pain
I've been waiting
But I think it might be time
Hey
I got a feeling that I'm gonna have to let you go
I got some feelings and I'm gonna have to let them show
It was fun, getting drunk, staying up all night
We were dumb, so in love, but it wasn't right
I got a feeling that I'm gonna have to let you go
And you already know, yeah, yeah
You already know, already know
Said you already know, oh, oh
Said you already know, oh, already know
Already know

I have a strong intuition that I will need to end our relationship
I got some feelings and I'm gonna have to let them show
I have emotions that I must express openly
It's been fun, getting drunk, staying up all night
We had a great time, drinking and staying awake until morning
Being dumb, making love, till the morning light
We were foolish, having intimate moments until daybreak
But I got a feeling that I'm gonna have to let you go
Still, I strongly sense that I must end our relationship
And you already know, yeah, yeah
And you are already aware of this, yes
Don't, don't, don't do that
Please, please, please refrain from doing that
Text a hundred times for not calling you back
Sending numerous messages because I didn't return your call
Been a long, long day
It has been an extremely exhausting day
And I'm just tryna relax
And I am simply trying to unwind
With all due respect
While acknowledging your worth
You don't give me no respect
You do not show me any respect
What the hell did you expect?
What did you anticipate, for heaven's sake?
You played with my head now I'll never forget
You manipulated my mind, and I will never forget it
Been a minute since I lived the single life
It has been a while since I experienced the life of being single
Thought that I was gonna turn you to my wife, but you know
I believed that you would become my spouse, but as you know
We're always running in circles
We consistently find ourselves going around in circles
Can't seem to make up our minds
We are unable to make a firm decision
Are we going all the way,
Will we commit fully,
Can we make it through the day
Can we endure the challenges of everyday life
Without the headaches and the pain
Without the stress and emotional anguish
I've been waiting
I have been patiently waiting
But I think it might be time
But I believe that the time may have come
Hey
Hey
It was fun, getting drunk, staying up all night
We had a good time, drinking and staying awake until morning
We were dumb, so in love, but it wasn't right
We were foolishly infatuated, but it was not the right choice
You already know, already know
You already know, already know
Said you already know, oh, oh
You said you already know, oh, oh
Said you already know, oh, already know
You said you already know, oh, already know
Already know
Already know
