Michael Jackson - Can't Let Her Get Away

Written, Composed and Produced by Michael Jackson and Teddy Riley.

Featured in the film, 'The Meteor Man' (1993).

[Teddy Riley's Words About The Song]
This was mostly from a sample CD that I just put together myself, and it kind of reminded me of the James Brown sound. I could feel it. I thought I'd bring a shadow of some of the greatness of the James Brown production sound to this. I made the sample CD myself – that was me playing instruments, then looping them up and having them lying around for potential projects. Back then I just had them lying around and I hadn't used them… But I really wanted to use them !

Throughout the album I was drawing off a lot of CDs I had hanging around, all played by myself. I'm a multi-instrumentalist.

Can't Let Her Get Away - Lyrics

I Thought She Had To Have It
Since The First Time She Came
Who Knows The Situation
Mysteries Do Remain
And Now I Wonder Why
I Breakdown When I Cry
Is It Something I Said
Or Is It Just A Lie
(Is It Just A Lie)

I Try So Hard To Love You
Some Things Take
Time And Shame
I Think The Whole World
Of You
Your Thoughts Of Me Remain
I'll Play The Fool For You
I'll Change The Rules For You
Just Say It And I'll Do
Just Make This Thing Come True
(Make A Dream Come True)

If I Let Her Get Away
Though I'm Begging
On My Knees
I'll Be Crying Everyday
Knowing The Girl
That Got Away

I Can't Let
I Can't Let Her Get Away
I Can't Let
I Can't Let Her Get Away

I Can't Let
I Can't Let Her Get Away
I Can't Let
I Can't Let Her Get Away

I Tried To Mastermind It
By Saying Let It Be
But Everytime I Did It
The Hurt Came Back At Me
I Told You That I Need You
A Thousand Times And Why
I Played The Fool For You
And Still You Said Goodbye
(Still You Said Goodbye)

If I Let Her Get Away
Then The World Will
Have To See
A Fool Who Lives Alone
And The Fool Who
Set You Free

I Can't Let
I Can't Let Her Get Away
I Can't Let
I Can't Let Her Get Away

I Can't Let
I Can't Let Her Get Away
I Can't Let
I Can't Let Her Get Away
I've Got The Feelin'

Can't Let Go
Can't Let Go

I Can't Let
I Can't Let Her Get Away
I Can't Let
I Can't Let Her Get Away

I Can't Let
I Can't Let Her Get Away
I Can't Let
I Can't Let Her Get Away

The Dangerous era-great times for us fans,but also so sad times for poor Michael!! I never forget his statement against the stupid alegations and about the humiliations he was endured! Rest in peace,my king!

The 'Dangerous' album is absolutely phenomenal. This is one of the beats that makes it flow so smooth. I Love this segment of the album as well as most every other song Michael shares on it.

MJ's So COOL He's HOT!

Belle performance vocale et rythme bien marqué, mais je n'accroche pas autant que sur Dangerous, Jam ou Why You Wanna Trip On Me... Je la trouve un peu longue à la fin... Bon morçeau quand même : 7/10

10 sur 10 pour ce titre qui représente pour moi la parfaite alchimie artistique de cet album. Cette chanson est, avec Dangerous, le titre qui met en avant la composition incomparable de Michael avec la technique de Teddy Riley et le son unique apporté, dont lui seul à eu le secret. Sans l’un ou l’autre de ces deux génies, ce titre là n’aurai pas la même puissance.
