Girl let me know
Babygirl please let me know
Girl let me know
Girl please let me know
If you wanna take it slow
Girl I can take it slow
Have you been this high before?
I have been this high before
These drugs got you on the floor yeah,
Dropping on the floor
Don't check the time
'cause the clocks don't work
And the sun don't shine
When you're so down low
Paranoia kicks in
And you wanna go home
But you're in my zone girl
In my zone
2AM nights
Post lamps lights
Smoke weed flights
Cloud nine heights
3AM nights
Cars pass lights
Windows sights
Marble writes
I'll be by your side but i won't be your side guy
I can't trust you girl I don't even trust myself, why
Don't prove yourself to me by coming in the zone
Cause if i bring you here you won't manage on your own
Girl let me know
Girl please let me know
If you wanna take it slow
Girl I can take it slow
Have you been this high before?
I have been this high before
These drugs got you on the floor yeah,
Dropping on the floor
Don't check the time
Cause the clocks don't work
And the sun don't shine
When you're so down low
Paranoia kicks in
And you wanna go home
But you're in my zone girl
In my zone
All this jewelry don't matter when its dark
All this designer it don't matter when it's off
And all the love that you give me it's unusual
Because it don't really matter if it ain't mutual
So girl please let me know
If you changed your mind
If you still wanna go
I can point you to the door
But if you wanna stay then
There's a price to pay
Girl get on all fours
Girl let me know
Girl please let me know
If you wanna take it slow
Girl I can take it slow
Have you been this high before?
I have been this high before
These drugs got you on the floor yeah,
Dropping on the floor
Don't check the time
Cause the clocks don't work
And the sun don't shine
When you're so down low
Paranoia kicks in
And you wanna go home




But you're in my zone girl
In my zone

Overall Meaning

Da L.E.S.'s song "Let Me Know" tells the story of a man trying to convince a girl to stay in his world of late-night extravagance, drugs, and sex. Throughout the song, he emphasizes his willingness to take things slow and his desire for her to communicate her own desires to him. He also makes it clear that he doesn't trust her or himself fully and that staying in this world comes with its own price.


The chorus, "Girl let me know/Babygirl please let me know/Girl let me know/Girl please let me know/If you wanna take it slow/Girl I can take it slow/Have you been this high before?/I have been this high before/These drugs got you on the floor yeah/Dropping on the floor" shows the push and pull of their dynamic as he tries to both assert his control over her and show empathy for her state.


In the bridge, he acknowledges that all the material possessions and love don't matter when it's dark and off, and his desire for mutual attraction and desire. However, he also warns her that staying with him comes with a price, and she must be willing to pay it.


Overall, the song portrays the dangerous allure of a hedonistic lifestyle and the potential consequences that come with it. It's a cautionary tale of living in the moment without considering the long-range effects.
