Before I Let Go Lyrics

Whoa, whoa...ho...

You made me happy
This you can bet
You stood right beside me, yeah
And I won't forget

And I really love you
You should know
I wanna make sure I'm right, girl
Before I let go

Now we've had our good times
That's not the same
We're hurtin' each other
Girl, it's a shame

I won't be foolish, no, no
I wanna know
I wanna make sure I'm right, girl, oh
Before I let go, yeah, uh

You know I think the sun rises and shines on you
You know there's nothin', nothin', nothin' I would not do

Whoa, no
Before I let you go
Oh...
I would never, never, never, never, never, never, never
Never let you go before I go

We were so close
I love your charm, ooh
I can’t understand it, no
Where did we go wrong

I won't be askin', girl
I've got to know
I gotta make sure I'm right
Before I let go, ha-ha

I wanna know
I wanna know
Oh...oh...oh...oh...yeah
I can't, I can't let you go, mmm
I can't, I can't let you go
'Cause I know

Ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba (Ha, come on, darlin')
Ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba
(I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know before I let you go, I gotta tell you so)
Ba ba ba ba ba (Come on, girl)
Ba ba ba (Come on)
Ba ba ba ba ba (I can't let you)
Ba ba ba (Go, go, go, go, go, yeah)
Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba (I wanna know, know, I wanna know)
Ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba (Whoa, whoa, whoa)
Ba ba ba ba ba

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
