  • They can take these clothes off my back
    They can take my money
    Don't care about that
    Let them take my words
    It's all I've got
    They can have this fame
    It ain't worth a lot
    Only thing I know, is I'll never let you go

    As she takes the stand
    By the look in her eyes I can tell that she knows
    That she's holding the fate of my world in her hands
    Damn, fo' real
    This was never the plan
    It was never intended for her to end up the defendant
    And I guess it just happened by chance
    Damn, and you hope
    You hopin' that a miracle happens
    You prayed that the judge doesn't bang that gavel
    Just so you can go back and avoid a disaster
    And you could still be holding her hand
    Like the last note of the saddest song
    Or like the last word at the end of the poem
    You know, there's nothing worse than being alone
    It's funny how you never know what you got 'til it's gone

    They can take these clothes off my back
    They can take my money
    Don't care about that
    Let them take my words
    It's all I've got
    They can have this fame
    It ain't worth a lot
    Only thing I know, is I'll never let you go

    Won't let you go
    No, never gonna let you go
    Won't let you go
    No, never gonna let you go
    Won't let you go
    No, never gonna let you go
    Won't let you go
    No, never gonna let you go

    What's the one thing in this life that you live for?
    Who do you know in the world you would die for?
    Who would lie for?
    Who if they committed a crime you would stop on a dime and do time for
    'Cause it was me she would ride for
    And that was her that I cry for
    Now I'd give it all away to get her back
    'Cause she ain't free, no, just waiting July 4th
    Yea, no, it don't sound logical
    But there's some things in this life that you gotta do
    Brother, one thing in this world that got to you
    I'd let it all go but I ain't dropping you

    They can take these clothes off my back
    They can take my money
    Don't care about that
    Let them take my words
    It's all I've got
    They can have this fame
    It ain't worth a lot
    Only thing I know, is I'll never let you go

    Won't let you go
    No, never gonna let you go
    Won't let you go
    No, never gonna let you go
    Won't let you go
    No, never gonna let you go
    Won't let you go
    No, never gonna let you go

    It might be wrong or it might be right
    But there's no looking back and we won't sleep tonight
    We're living while we're young and this is worth the fight
    Even if I lost it all

    They can take these clothes off my back
    They can take my money
    Don't care about that
    Let them take my words
    It's all I've got
    They can have this fame
    It ain't worth a lot
    Only thing I know, is I'll never let you go

    Won't let you go
    No, never gonna let you go
    Won't let you go
    No, never gonna let you go
    Won't let you go
    No, never gonna let you go
    Won't let you go
    No, never gonna let you go
    Won't let you go
    No, never gonna let you go
    Won't let you go
    No, never gonna let you go
    Won't let you go
    No, never gonna let you go
    Won't let you go
    Never gonna let you go Writer/s: BOBBY RAY JR SIMMONS, NOEL PATRICK ZANCANELLA, RYAN B TEDDER
