Let Me Love You
John Norum Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looking at my picture
On your wall
Just like a thousand times before
Dreaming of me ain't good enough
Why don't you come to me for more
So close your eyes and your fantasy comes true
I'm gonna give you my love
So stop feeling blue


Let me love you
Let me love you


Girl you must be crazy
If you still believe in all the stories,
in their lies
Inside your heart you know what you want
Why don't you give it one more try
So close your eyes and your fantasy come true
I'm gonna give you my love
Stop feeling blue

Let me love you
Let me love you

I don't need no excuses
I'm never gonna refuse
your love

So close your eyes and let your fantasy come true
I'm gonna give you my love
So stop feeling blue





Let me love you
Let me love you
