Let 'Er Rip
Unveiling Heartbreak: The Chicks' 'Let 'Er Rip' Meaning Exposed
Lyrics
I can tell there's something you
I sense that there's something you
Don't wanna tell me
Are hesitant to disclose to me
It's killing you cause the words
It's distressing you because the words
Are hard to find
Are difficult to express
I know you want to break it to me gently
I understand you wish to convey it gently
Well sweet baby say what's on your mind
So, dear, just say what's on your mind
Let 'er rip, Let it fly
Let it out, express it freely
Come on baby say it do you think
Come on, baby, speak up, do you believe
I'm gonna cry
I'll shed tears over this?
I ain't about to bawl and I ain't gonna die
I won't cry, and I won't succumb to despair
So if you're gonna say goodbye
So if you're ending this, make it quick
Don't take all day and night
Don't prolong it all day and night
Let 'er rip Let it fly
Let it out, express it freely
Why the drama, we don't have to drag
Why the unnecessary drama, we can resolve
Out this situation
This situation without dragging it out
It wasn't you, it wasn't me, sometimes
It wasn't solely your fault or mine, sometimes
The chemistry don't ignite
The chemistry between us doesn't ignite
There ain't no rings, no morgage, there ain't any complications
No rings, no mortgage, no complications
It's just a hyphenated word, get it out and
It's just a hyphenated word, say it and
I'm sure I'll be all right
I'm sure I'll be alright
Let 'er rip, Let it fly
Let it out, express it freely
Come on baby say it, do you think
Come on, baby, say it, do you believe
I'm gonna cry
I'll shed tears over this?
ain't about to bawl, and I ain't gonna die
I won't cry, and I won't succumb to despair
So if you're gonna say goodbye
So if you're ending this, make it quick
Don't take all day and night
Don't prolong it all day and night
Let 'er rip, Let it fly
Let it out, express it freely
It ain't no big deal, ain't no great loss
It's not a significant issue, no great loss
You and I are on the same train of thought
You and I are in agreement
So you don't have to tell me where to get off
You don't need to tell me when to stop
Maybe I misunderstood you
Perhaps I misunderstood you
But if you're leaving baby would you
But if you're leaving, would you
Let 'er rip, let it fly
Let it out, express it freely
Come on baby say it, do you think
Come on, baby, say it, do you believe
I'm gonna cry
I'll shed tears over this?
I ain't about to bawl, and I ain't gonna die
I won't cry, and I won't succumb to despair
So if you're gonna say goodbye
So if you're ending this, make it quick
Don't take all day and night
Don't prolong it all day and night
Let 'er rip, let it fly
Let it out, express it freely
So, if you're gonna say goodbye
So, if you're saying goodbye
Don't take all day and night
Don't take forever
Let 'er rip, let it fly
Let it out, express it freely
