I Can't Let U Go
Usher Lyrics

Yo, shit
The singer is expressing frustration

I'm sick of this man
The singer is tired of the situation they are in

I can't even take no more
The singer is at their breaking point

'Cause I hate the fact that I love you so much
The artist has conflicting emotions about their love for someone

And you know what I'm sayin'
The artist is seeking understanding

You don't even understand what this is doin' to me
The singer feels misunderstood and hurt

Everytime I try to get away
The singer has attempted to leave before

I just can't let you go, you know what I'm sayin'
The artist is struggling to let go

I never ever want to hurt you
The artist doesn't want to cause pain

I just wanna to love ya
The artist wants to express their love

I just wanna to sex ya up
The singer desires physical intimacy

Want to give you everything you need
The artist wants to provide their partner with everything they desire

Things you want, just lay down
The singer is willing to fulfill their partner's wishes

Let me love ya all night long
The singer desires to show their love all night long

I don't wanna to leave ya, I just wanna to keep ya
The singer wants to hold on to their partner

When they saw me, they saw you
The artist and their partner were seen as a unit

Damn the world, it's just me and my girl
The artist prioritizes their relationship over anything else

That's how I felt, every time I thought it was right
The singer believed their relationship was good

It went left
The relationship took a turn for the worse

We used to love and party
The artist and their partner used to enjoy each other's company

Now all we do is argue
The relationship is no longer happy

Time and time I say I'm gonna leave
The artist has threatened to leave before

But I can't let you go
The singer is struggling to move on from the relationship

So much love and hurt
The relationship has caused both love and pain

And hate, people screaming it won't work
Others believe that the relationship won't succeed

Baby you not gonna like me
The singer is about to say something their partner won't like

But you not gonna fight me
The singer doesn't want to argue

You can walk away and say
The artist is giving their partner permission to leave

I never gave you everything you want, thing you need
The artist wasn't able to fulfill all of their partner's desires

I don't want to leave you, see you
The singer is struggling with conflicting emotions

With another brother lovin ya sayin'
The singer is jealous of their partner being with someone else

That's how I feel
The artist is expressing their emotions

When you think everything is real
The artist believed their relationship was genuine

But it really ain't
The relationship was not as strong as the artist thought

Got me walkin' around ready to snap
The singer is feeling angry

Got me walkin' around lookin for somebody to slap
The artist wants to act out violently

Got me goin', goin', with no pause (?)
The singer is feeling restless

Got me up in Cartier every day just 'cause
The singer is spending money on their partner

Got me arguin' about little stuff
The relationship is causing arguments over small things

She don't call lil' stuff
The artist's partner doesn't care about small things

When it get a little rough
The relationship struggles during difficult times

We kiss and make up
The singer and their partner forgive each other after arguments

She want to say what she want to, I don't play that
The singer is not willing to tolerate their partner saying whatever they want

She want to constantly bring up shit from way back
The artist's partner is holding onto past issues

Got me thinkin' about her while I'm watchin' a flick
The artist is distracted by thoughts of their partner

Got me dippin through traffic tryin' to get home quick
The artist is eager to be with their partner

Got me talkin' to myself "I'm hatin' this"
The singer is frustrated with their situation

Got me wantin' to wild out like I'm Jadakiss
The artist wants to act out impulsively

Got me in a place I never thought I would see
The singer is in a surprising emotional state

Got me not wantin' to stay, and not wantin' to leave
The singer is conflicted about what to do

Got me happy
The singer is still in love with their partner

Got me confused
The artist is unsure about their relationship

Got me wishin' I could get it how I used to
The artist wants their relationship to go back to how it was before
