its so 90's and so funky

It's nice but not the best.

This song is what made me become a fan back in '94.

I´ve always loved that song

One of my favorites!

Il 2nd that! Really want the Instrumental song but never find it!

I love that whole cd and wait that has Solo um that is actually the only song that I don't love. Don't hate it just don't love it. It just feels me with sadness.

I remember walking around Athens in summer 1994 with the walkmans and the Prince's Come always on. Letitgo and Pheromone are my faves in there but everything is good. Well orgasm can get a little embarassing if you're not using the walkman:P

3rd it!

Its a good song but def not the best. It had the most radio potential from the Come album in my opinion.

I'm not a huge fan of Solo, but the "The Angels, they watch in wonder." part is one of the most beautiful moments in Prince music IMO.

That shit is HAWT!!!!


Ready or not, here I come
(Come on)
(Come on)
All my life I've kept my feelings deep inside
Never was a reason 2 let somebody know
Lover here, lover there - Who cried? Who cared? Foolish pride
Never was a good seat at any of this man's shows

Until now all I wanted 2 do is
Do do do what I do, and
Bang bang bang on the drummer
And love so-and-so

But now I've got 2 letitgo (letitgo)
Lay back and let the vibe just flow
I wanna just letitgo (letitgo)
Lay back and let my feelings show
(letitgo)
I'm ready 4 the real
Give me something I can feel

All my life this heart's been under lock and key
My curtains were drawn there wasn't nobody home
Trigger here, Trigger there - everybody's high except 4 me
Better off dead if I couldn't be alone

Until now all I wanted 2 do is
Do do do what I do, and
Bang bang bang on the drummer
And love so-and-so

But now I've got 2 letitgo (letitgo)
Lay back and let the vibe just flow
I wanna just letitgo (letitgo)
Lay back and let my feelings show
I, I'm ready 4 the real
Give me something I can feel

4teen years and tears I've longed 2 sing my song
But a horse couldn't drag your ass 2 put me on
But now I've got an army and we're three million strong
This song will ring in your ears when we are gone

Until now all I wanted 2 do is
Do do do what I do, and
Bang bang bang on the drummer
And love so-and-so

But now I want 2 letitgo (letitgo)
Lay back and let the vibe just flow
Said I want 2 letitgo (letitgo)
Lay back and let the feelings show

I am ready 4 the real (Come a little closer)

(letitgo)
(Lay back an' let the vibe just flow)

Loved the beat. The song isn't one of my favorites, but it's still a good listen.

I listen to this song like every other day. Love the entire cd.

Great song!!!

I like the remix more.

Completly agree. Song is vastly underrated and is both well-written and funky. One of the few songs from the mid-90's that I would consider a classic.

The saving grace of the Come album. The remixes are cool, too.

yep.. they are really great

Taken from A CELEBRATION: COME http://prince.org/msg/7/312759

Pushing the bounds of the one word titles that each song has LETITGO had radio hit written all over it, and under better circumstances might have been a bigger hit than it was. Probably one of Prince’s most honest lyrics, he seems to take stock of his life, and give up the worries and concerns of where his life was at and leave the baggage behind, and go with the flow. The lyrical metaphors drew me in straight away, and that sing song chorus just makes you want to join in. And over a decade late Letitgo still sounds fresh and relevant to the modern music landscape. And what a beautiful guitar and organ solo towards the end of the track. This is one of the songs I would have loved to have been a fly on the studio wall for, I just find the whole construction of the song so wonderful.

Great song & great album.

AGREE, I always tell a friend of mine who's also a fan how great this song is and he's always like 'It's aight'

Say whatt?!?!?

That's what I immediately thought when I first heard the album, and STILL DO!

I don't know why really, it just seems so simplistic and formulaic.
Remixes are better.
