Lyrics
I gotta let you go
Expressing the necessity of ending a relationship
I gotta let you go
Reiteration of the decision to let go
I gotta let you go
Emphasizing the determination to move on
I gotta let you go
Repeating the resolve to part ways
I need someone who treats me right
Desire for a partner who treats the speaker with respect
I want somebody
Expressing the wish for a reliable companion
Who's always there
Desiring someone consistently present in challenging times
When I'm down to show you care
Seeking emotional support when feeling low
Searched the whole world over
Extensive search for genuine and enduring love
For love that's true
Desire for a love that is sincere and true
Someone to tell me "I love you"
Yearning for verbal affirmation of love
But it won't be my heart that's breaking
Anticipating a breakup without personal heartbreak
'Cause I won't be the one to cry
Not willing to be the one shedding tears in the end
I have taken all that I am taking
Having reached the limit of what can be endured
Now the time has come for us to say good-bye
Recognizing the moment to bid farewell has arrived
I gotta let you go
Reiteration of the decision to let go (repeated)
I gotta let you go
Emphasizing the determination to move on (repeated)
No more sleepless nights
No more enduring nights of sleeplessness
I gotta let you go
Reaffirmation of the decision to release the relationship
I gotta let you go
Confirmation of the commitment to let go
I need a man who treat me right
Desire for a man who treats the speaker with respect (repeated)
I want somebody
Expressing the need for a lasting relationship
That's here to stay
Desire for a partner committed to staying
'Cause I need good lovin' not a maid
Preference for genuine love over mere domestic help
Not a part-time lover
Rejecting a part-time romantic commitment
To treat me like you do
Desire for a partner who values and treats the speaker well
You wanna have your cake and eat it too
Rejecting a relationship where one wants everything without commitment
Just pack up all your lies
Advising the partner to leave and take their deceit with them
Get up and go
Encouraging the partner to leave immediately
'Cause now it's much too late to care
Realization that it's too late for the partner to care
I've taken all that I am taking
Having reached the limit of what can be tolerated (repeated)
Oh don't look for me
Declaring the intention not to be available this time
This time I won't be there
Asserting independence from the relationship
Oh baby
Expressing emotional pain or frustration
I gotta let you go
Reiteration of the decision to let go (repeated)
I gotta let you go
Emphasizing the determination to move on (repeated)
No more sleepless nights
No more enduring nights of sleeplessness (repeated)
I gotta let you go
Reaffirmation of the decision to release the relationship (repeated)
I gotta let you go
Confirmation of the commitment to let go (repeated)
I need someone who treats me right
Desire for a partner who treats the speaker with respect (repeated)
I need someone who treats me right
