Let It Be Me
Bobbie Gentry & Glen Campbell Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you, let it be me
Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever, let it be me
I find complete love
Without your sweet love what would life be
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always let it be me
Each time we meet love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love what would life be
So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always, let it be me
In Bobbie Gentry and Glen Campbell’s song “Let it Be Me,” the singer expresses a deep desire to be with the one they love. The opening verse, “I bless the day I found you, I want to stay around you,” reveals the sense of joy and gratefulness that the singer feels for having found their love. They then plead with their loved one, “let it be me,” emphasizing their desire to be the one by their side.
The second verse continues this theme, with the singer saying “Don't take this heaven from one, if you must cling to someone, now and forever let it be me.” Here, the singer seems to be aware that their loved one could choose anyone, but they hope to be the one that they cling to. This desperate longing is further emphasized in the next verse, where the singer proclaims that “without your sweet love what would life be,” indicating that life would be incomplete without their love.
Ultimately, the singer pleads with their loved one to never leave them lonely and to always love them and let it be them. The repetition of “let it be me” throughout the song emphasizes the singer’s desire to be chosen and loved by the one they cherish.
