Let Me Love You
John Norum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
The lyrics to John Norum's "Let Me Love You" are a plea from the singer to his love interest, who he believes is holding back from fully giving herself to him. The opening lines, "Looking at my picture on your wall / Just like a thousand times before" describe a sense of familiarity and routine that the singer has with this person. He acknowledges that she dreams of him, but states that it's not enough and that she needs to come to him for more. The line "So close your eyes and your fantasy comes true" is an invitation for her to give in to the attraction she feels towards him and to allow him to love her fully.
The chorus, "Let me love you", is repeated throughout the song and serves as a reminder of the singer's desire to be with his love interest. He encourages her to not listen to the stories and lies that others may be telling her, but to trust her own heart and give their relationship another chance. The line "I don't need no excuses / I'm never gonna refuse your love" shows that the singer is committed to being with her, no matter what.
Overall, "Let Me Love You" is a straightforward and sincere love song that expresses the desire to be with someone who may be hesitant to fully give themselves over to the relationship. The singer offers reassurance and a promise of love, urging his love interest to trust in their connection and take a chance on their love.
