let me in
Benny Sings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Standing at your doorstep,
ring your bell twice,
and now I’m waiting for your love,
with from above,
raindrops and moonlight,
I can make you smile again,
if you open up for me,
but if you don’t allow I’ll just walk away,
so tell me girl, what will it be?

If you decide to let me in,
I’ll stop the rain from pouring down,
if you decide to let me in I’ll make you smile yeah,
if you decide to let me in ooh,
I’ll bring the sun and let it shine, for you girl,
‘cause when I’m close to you my heart feels so alive yeah

It’s not too long ago, ooh what a night,
And I already miss you much,
Remember girl; walks in the moonlight,
I know it’s really scary yeah,
nahnahanhanah,
But it’s not too late to open up,
It’s gotta stop, can’t take any more now,

If you decide to let me in,
I’ll stop the rain from pouring down,
if you decide to let me in I’ll make you smile yeah,
if you decide to let me in ooh,
I’ll bring the sun and let it shine, for you girl,
‘cause when I’m close to you my heart feels so alive yeah

Let me in, I’m begging please,
Let me in, you’re all I need,
Let me in, you’re outta sight,
Let me in, you know I’m right,
Can’t you hear I’ve been knocking on your door girl,
And you’re the only one I’m fighting for girl,
So open up and show yourself,
I don’t wanna be with no one else, yeah

If you decide to let me in,
I’ll stop the rain from pouring down,
if you decide to let me in I’ll make you smile yeah,
if you decide to let me in ooh,
I’ll bring the sun and let it shine, for you girl,
‘cause when I’m close to you my heart feels so alive yeah

If you decide to let me in girl,
I’ll stop the rain from pouring down on you,
if you decide to let me in I’ll make you smile,
if you decide to let me in girl,
I’ll bring the sun and let it shine, for you,
‘cause when I’m close to you my heart feels so alive yeah

I can hear your footsteps,
Slowly come close,
The handle turns, the fire burns,
There’s no return,
Where do we go?
