Can I Go Now

Jennifer Love Hewitt · Other Songs - Jennifer Love Hewitt

Do do do, do do, do do do do do do do do
What's the point of tryin' to meet you in the middle?
You got your point of view, there's nothing I can do
Can't change your mind, can't leave it all behind
You're livin' in the past
We talk and talk, this goes on for hours
About how I should be, why is it all on me?
Don't wanna fight, don't wanna waste my time
baby this can't last, I'm movin' on, movin' on

(chorus)

Can I go now?
You said what you had to say
Happy you got your way, there's nothing to discuss
(Can I go now?)
Well you're givin' your point of view,
Said what you wanted to, what's the point in us?
(Can I go now)
Oh, say what you had to say,
Happy you got your way, what's there to discuss?
(Can I go now?)
Na na na na now
Can I go, now now

What's the point in tryin' to reach a compromise
When you're the judge and jury?
What's the story?
I can't make you see that I'm not always wrong
I can't make it right, it's time to move ooon
And I'm movin' ooon
hey yeah yeah yeeah yeah!

(chorus)

Well let's call it a day
I'll pack my bags, be on my waayy
Sure don't need to stay, where I'm not welcome anyway
Well now that's alright, and that's okaaaayyy
Ohhhh, yeaaaah

There's nothin' left to do
Maybe I'm not for you
So why don't you let it go
Tell me what's the point in all this
Talk talk talk talk
We could go day and night
Still wouldn't make it right

Can I go now?
Oh say what you had to say
Happy you got your way, there's nothing to discuss
(Can I go now?)
Well you're givin' you're point of view,
Said what you wanted to, what's the point in us?
(Can I go now)
And I'll be on my waaay, yeah
(Can I go now)
Let's call it a daaayyy, ooo
(Can I go now?)
Now, yeah, yeah
Why don't you let me
do do do do do do do do
(Can I go now?)
Can I, can I go now?

Can I go now?

Can I Go Now

Jennifer Love Hewitt's "Can I Go Now" stands as a standout track from her 1991 debut album, "Jennifer Love Hewitt." The song showcases her transition from teen icon to a serious recording artist, blending pop sensibilities with a more mature vocal delivery. Released during the height of her film career, the recording captures the emotional vulnerability of a young woman navigating personal growth and independence. Musically, it features a driving rhythm and melodic structure that reflects the late 80s and early 90s pop-rock aesthetic, distinguishing it from her earlier work. The track remains a notable example of her early discography, highlighting her ability to convey complex feelings through songwriting and performance before she fully established herself as a dedicated musician.
