Let The Musci Play
Barry White Lyrics

I've been out here walkin' and talkin' to myself About four hours now Love is really a hurting thing
The singer has been wandering aimlessly, deep in thought for hours about the agony of love.

Hey, man, what's happenin'?
The singer is greeting someone they know.

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'ma walk up here and see what's going on in this discotheque There's always something going 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 have mercy, everybody's there
The singer is going into a disco and noticing that everyone is having a good time.

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, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, wee
The artist wants to dance to the music and forget about love for a while.

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
The artist wants to listen to music to help ease their pain about love.

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
Despite dancing, the singer can't shake off their feelings about their past relationship, which makes them sad.

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
The singer is trying to distract themselves from their sorrow by imagining that their lover is with them.

Baby, I wanna see you 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 It is just that I, that I'm so hurt inside Oh, all I wanna do is just dance, dance, dance
The artist is expressing their desire to reconcile with their lover and not just have a one-night stand.

Let the music play I just wanna dance the night away Ah, here, right here is where I'm gonna stay All night long, ooh, ooh, ooh, wee
The artist wants to dance and ignore their troubles for the entire night.

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
The artist wants the music to continue playing to help them forget about their heartbreak.
