take ur hand
Usher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Anytime I could just lose control, caught up
In your loving, every time I feel your touch
Second thoughts, more doubts started building up
You're everything I wanted
Before I knew just what I wanted
And hey, hey, you're killing me on the inside
Don't know what to do, what to say
I'm not sure what to tell you, confused
Which way do I take your hand or let go?
(Do I) take your hand or let it go?
(I can't) take this feeling much more
(Do I) take your hand or let go? (go)
Don't know what to do, what to say
I'm not sure what to tell you, confused
Which way do I go?
Hey, I feel like I just blow on up
Every time I feel your love, I get so caught up
It's your kissing, your touch, it's just everything
But I'm feeling like I wanna just run away
I'm here to tell you what I want
But you're everything I want
And hey, hey, it's killing me on the inside
'Cause you're all I ever wanted, so I can't deny
Don't know what to do, what to say
I'm not sure what to tell you, confused
Which way do I take your hand or let go?
(Do I) take your hand or let it go?
(I can't) take this feeling much more
(Do I) take your hand or let go? (go)
Don't know what to do, what to say
I'm not sure what to tell you, confused
Which way do I go?
Somebody tell me (oh)
Is it that I'm so wrong? I can't say (say)
Or is it my life? So young, careless ways
And in your eyes, so much love you wanna give
But the more I hold you in my arms
The pressure starts to build (build)
Build it up (build, build, build)
Don't know what to do, what to say
I'm not sure what to tell you, confused
Which way do I take your hand or let go?
(Do I) take your hand or let it go?
(I can't) take this feeling much more
(Do I) take your hand or let go? (go)
Don't know what to do, what to say
I'm not sure what to tell you, confused
Which way do I take your hand or let go?
Take your hand or let it go?
Take your hand or let go?
Take your hand or let it go?
Take your hand or let go?
Take your hand or let it go?
Take your hand or let go?
Take your hand or let it go?
Take your hand or let go?
Take your hand or let go?

WOW!! Been listening to Amerie as well recently and have noticed how similar this song is to her song 'Come With Me', particularly how the lyrics are executed. Then I realised, both were produced by Rich Harrison. 🔥
