‘Let’s Stay Together’ by Al Green is about the narrator wanting to stay with his girlfriend for the rest of his life. He is telling her that he doesn’t want to lose her and that he would rather live with her than live without her. The lyrics paint a pretty romantic picture, but there is also a deeper meaning to the song. The narrator is telling his girlfriend that he will do anything to keep her with him, even if it means doing what society says. He is telling her that if he and she are to be together, they will have to go against what society says is right. That is what makes the song so beautiful.

Let’s Stay Together Lyrics
I’m, I’m so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is alright with me
‘Cause you make me feel so brand new
And I want to spend my life with you
Let me say that since, baby
Since we’ve been together
Loving you forever
Is what I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I’ll never be untrue
Oh, baby, let’s, let’s stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
Whether times are good or bad, happy or sad
Why, somebody, why people break-up
Oh, turn around and make-up
I just can’t see
You’d never do that to me
Would you, baby?
Just being around you is all I see
Here’s what I want us to do
Let’s, we ought to stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
Come on
Let’s, let’s stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad
