Let's The Music Play
Barry White Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Lord have mercy, everybody's there
Hey, what's goin' on man, yeah
She's at home, yeah, she's at home
Yeah, she's at home
Let the music play
I just want to dance the night away
All night long, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, wee
Let the music play on
Just until I feel this misery is gone
Movin', kickin', groovin', keep the music strong
On and on and on and on and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on and on and on and on
I'm out here dancin' and still, huh
I can't erase the things I feel
The tender love we used to share
See, it's like it's no longer there
I've got to hide what's killin' me inside
Let the music play
I just want to dance the night away
Here, right here, right here is where I'm gonna stay
All night long, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Let the music play on
Just until I feel this misery is go
The lyrics of Let the Music Play by Barry White and Marvin Gaye talk about a man who is trying to escape the pain of a lost love by immersing himself in the music at a crowded club. The opening lines of “One ticket, please/Lord have mercy, everybody's there” show that the club is packed, and the man is trying to get away from his troubles. He wonders what is happening with his lost love, while realizing that she is likely at home. However, he decides to stay and dance the night away, hoping to find some solace in the music.
As the song progresses, the man realizes that he is still carrying the pain and heartbreak of his lost love. He cannot forget the tender love they shared, and it feels like it is no longer there. However, he continues to dance, hoping that the music will heal his wounds. The lines “Just until I feel this misery is gone/Movin', kickin', groovin', keep the music strong” show that he is pouring himself into the music, hoping to forget his troubles and find himself again.
The chorus repeats the line “Let the music play,” emphasizing the therapeutic power of music. The lyrics speak to the universal experience of heartbreak and the power of music to heal and help us through difficult times.

LYRICS:
I've been out here walking and talking by myself
For about four hours now
Love is really a hurtin' thing
"Hey man, what's happening?"
"Hey brother, what's going on? Alright?"
He's got his woman over there
But mine's at home
What time is it?
Damn, almost 12.45
I think I'm gonna walk up here and see what's goin' on
Up here at this discotheque
There's always something goin' on in there
What becomes of the broken hearted
Oh baby
Oh this looks like the place
Everybody's goin' in
Step on up here
One ticket please
Lord almost everybody's here
"Hey what's goin' on man? It's okay?" "She's at home"
"Yeah, she's at home, yeah, she's at home"
Let the music play
I just wanna dance the night away
Here, right here, right here is where I'm gonna stay
All night long
Let the music play on
Just until I feel this misery is gone
Movin', kickin', groovin', keep the music strong
On and on and on and on and on and on
And on and on and on and on and on...
I'm out here dancin' and still
I can't erase the things I feel
The tender love we used to share
See, it's like it's no longer there
I've, I've got to hide what's killin' me inside
Let the music play
I just want to dance the night away
Here, right here, right here is where I'm gonna stay
All night long
Let the music play on
Just until I feel this misery is gone
Ah, movin', kickin', groovin', keep the music strong
Let it play on and on
Let it play on and on, and on, and on and on and on...
I think I'm gonna be alright, ha ha ha
If I can make it through the night, oh Lord
I'll just pretend she's here with me
I'll close my eyes, her face I'll see (won't somebody help me?)
I know it's make believe, but it's the only hope for me
Let the music play
I just want to dance the night away
Here, right here, right here is where I'm gonna stay
All night long
Let the music play on
Just until I feel this misery is gone
Ah, movin', kickin', groovin', keep the music strong
Let it play
Maybe you oughta see me now
And then you'd know that it's only you that I love
I'm not out here looking for a one night affair
Think it's just that I'm... that I'm so hurt inside
But all I wanna do is just dance, dance, dance
Let the music play
I just want to dance the night away
Here, right here, right here is where I'm gonna stay
All night long
Let the music play on
Just until I feel this misery is gone
Movin', kickin', groovin', keep the music strong
Let it play on
Let it play on
Let it play on
Please let it play on
Let it play on

@gearoidsimms576
Amazing how he mixed classical sequences with soul creating disco . He had it all - voice, songwriting, producing & arranging 👍
@reginaldbrown8012
We lost this genius at the young age of 58. Too young. RIP Maestro 🙏🏿

It was heartbreaking when he passed. I played his music on repeat for days after. The smoothest and sexiest voice to come out of a man!❤️
