Let's stay together

I, I'm I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is all right with me
Cause you make me feel so brand new
And I want to spend my life with you
Let me say that since, baby, since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is what I need
Let me, be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Oh baby
Let's, let's stay together (gether)
Lovin' you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
Oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad

Why, why some people break up
Then turn around and make up
I just can't see
You'd never do that to me (would you, baby)
Staying around you is all I see
(Here's what I want us do)

Let's, we oughta stay together (gether)
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
Come on




Let's stay,(let's stay together) let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether times are good or bad

Overall Meaning

"Let's Stay Together" by Al Green is a classic love song that has stood the test of time. The song conveys a deep feeling of love that the singer has for his partner and the lengths he would go to make their relationship work. The song's first verse establishes the singer's devotion to their partner with the lyrics "I'm so in love with you, whatever you want to do is alright with me." The singer emphasizes how his partner makes him feel "brand new" and expresses his desire to spend his life with them.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the power of love to overcome any obstacle in a relationship. The singer promises to love his partner whether "times are good or bad, happy or sad." The song emphasizes the importance of staying together in the face of challenges and being committed to each other. The second verse gently challenges the notion of breaking up and making up, stating that it is not an option in his relationship, "you'd never do that to me, would you baby?"

I’m 79 years old and just fell in love with THE most wonderful 84 year old man who just sent me this song in the ICU at Arlington Memorial Hospital. Successful surgery and great reason to live! Thanks Al and Tony❤
