Jungle – Let’s Go Back Lyrics

[Chorus]
Let’s go, let’s go back
You know I need you here (Just like that)
Darling, when you let go, can’t go back
You know I need you here (Let’s go back)
I guess we’ll never let go, let’s go back
You know I need you here (Just like that)
Lonely when the night’s cold, let’s go there
That’s why I need you here (Let’s go back, ooh)

[Post-Chorus]
Why, why won’t you give me some love now?
Why would you keep me in pain?
Why won’t you give me some of your time?
Why won’t you give it away?

[Refrain]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

[Chorus]
Let’s go, let’s go back
You know I need you here (Just likе that)
Darling, when you let go (Can’t go back)
That’s why I need you herе (Let’s go back)
I guess we’ll never let go (Let’s go back)
You know I need you here (Just like that)
Lonely when the night’s cold (Let’s go there)
That’s why I need you here (Let’s go back, ooh)

[Post-Chorus]
Why, why won’t you give me some love now?
Why would you keep me in pain?
Why won’t you give me some of your time?
Why won’t you give it away?

[Refrain]
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

[Chorus]
Let’s go, let’s go back
You know I need you here (Just like that)
Darling, when you let go (Can’t go back)
That’s why I need you here (Let’s go back)
I guess we’ll never let go (Let’s go back)
You know I need you here (Just like that)
Lonely when the night’s cold (Let’s go there)
That’s why I need you here

[Post-Chorus]
Why won’t you give it away?
Why won’t you give me some love now?
Why would you keep me in pain?
Why won’t you give me some of your time?
Why won’t you give it away?
[Outro]

Let’s Go Back Lyrics Meanings

Chorus: Longing for the Past

The speaker expresses a strong desire to return to a better time in the relationship, emphasizing their emotional dependence on their partner. The lines suggest nostalgia and a sense of longing for closeness. “Letting go” is associated with loss, implying that the speaker is not ready to move on. They feel incomplete without the presence of their partner, especially during lonely moments.

Post Chorus: Emotional Pain and Confusion

This section highlights the speaker’s frustration and emotional pain caused by their partner’s lack of attention and affection. The repeated “why” questions reveal confusion and a desperate need for answers. The speaker feels neglected and is pleading for love and time, which they believe is being withheld unfairly.

Refrain: Repetitive Emotional Struggle

The vocalizations in the refrain are a non-verbal expression of emotion, representing the speaker’s internal struggle. It acts as a cathartic release, emphasizing feelings that are too intense for words. The simplicity of the “ooh” adds to the raw emotional depth, suggesting a cycle of unresolved feelings.

Post-Chorus: Desperate Plea for Love

The speaker is once again pleading for affection and understanding. The repetition of these lines underscores the depth of their pain and the sense of being trapped in a relationship that no longer provides the emotional nourishment they crave.
