Love Me Right
Gretta Ray Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thought I had found a love to hold me down
Felt that was so profound, but now I’m older
Planned out a life while I was flying blind
Thought we’d sustain the high, grow ever-closer

Hold on, hold on, pleaded with him to think again from the passenger’s side
He said “it’s gone on too long”, but thinking back on it, it’s clear he never really tried
He didn’t think that he could love me right, was having trouble sleeping through the night
But I’m done waiting at the borderline knowing I could find
Someone to

Serve me like a saviour
Cling to me like it is the last time you can
Enliven me like a stranger, bolden your behaviour
It’s all in your favour in the end

Now I’m wide awake and I’ve less weight to take
It would be hard to break this concrete frame of mind
Few and far between are moments where I dream
Won’t let them intervene or have them waste more time

I let go, let go
I made a home out of aloneness and gave up the fight
Nonetheless, I will not suppress how I wonder
If someone could come to love me right
Wouldn’t have trouble sleeping through the night
I’ve set the bar now to a whole new height
I’ll leave on the light
If you’re going to

Serve me like a saviour
Cling to me like it is the last time you can
Enliven me like a stranger, bolden your behaviour
It’s all in your favour in the end

Serve me like a saviour
Cling to me like it is the last time you can
Enliven me like a stranger, bolden your behaviour
It’s all in your favour in the end

Love me right
Who’d have thought I’d ever come to realise
Love me right
Truth is it don’t need to be a compromise, I think you’ll find
Love me right
Who’d have thought I’d ever come to realise
Love me right
Truth is it don’t need to be a compromise, I think you’ll find

Serve me like a saviour
Cling to me like it is the last time you can
Enliven me like a stranger, bolden your behaviour
It’s all in your favour in the end

Serve me like a saviour
Cling to me like it is the last time you can




Enliven me like a stranger, bolden your behaviour
It’s all in your favour in the end

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gretta Ray's Love Me Right describe a woman who thought she had found the love of her life, but as time passed, she realized that the relationship was not as fulfilling as she had hoped. She had planned out a future with her partner but eventually had to come to terms with the fact that he was not capable of loving her the way she deserved. Despite her attempts to plead with him to work on the relationship, he didn't try hard enough, leaving her feeling alone and uncared for. She eventually decides to let go and make a home out of aloneness, acknowledging that she deserves someone who can serve her like a savior, cling to her like it is the last time they will see each other and enliven her like a stranger, without holding back their feelings.


The recurring theme throughout the song is the concept of self-worth and recognizing the importance of being in a healthy, loving relationship. The singer of the song comes to realize that she deserves someone who can meet her emotional needs and provide her with the love and attention she craves. The lyrics also suggest that the journey towards finding that perfect love may be a difficult one, but it's essential to set the bar high in order to achieve true happiness.

Wow! Gretta, you are amazing! I've followed your career for a while now and you continue to grow and develop into the most incredible artist. I may be old but I know talent when I see it! Sending congratulations on your album release from across the ditch in New Zealand. Please come play some shows here when this craziness allows.

Chris Foye

there's something so unique about Gretta. She clearly has both a very high emotional and musical iq combined. It's actually pretty fascinating to see and hear it play out.
