Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me be your Sunday driver
Let me be your Monday man
I'll take you anywhere you want
Just as fast as I can
It doesn't matter what you wanna do
It doesn't matter where you wanna go
Oh, did you ever want lovin', so you're callin'
Up your baby and she's stallin' with the neighbors
And the night keeps gettin' longer
And the urge keeps getting stronger
So your tryin and your dyin' and you're wonderin' does she love you
A knock comes at your door
Let me in honey
Let me
Let me be your Tuesday taxi
Let me be your Wednesday boy
I'll be your lovin' man
You'll be my bundle of joy
And oh
It doesn't matter what you wanna do
It doesn't matter where you wanna go
You just gotta decide girl and then you let me know
In "Let Me Know," Kiss sings a catchy tune about wanting to be the go-to guy for the woman he desires. The song opens by painting himself as the ultimate driver who could take her anywhere she wants anytime. What is noticeable in the lyrics is that he twice repeats the phrase "just as fast as I can." This repetition serves to emphasize his eagerness and willingness to fulfill her desires.
The song continues to express how the singer understands how confusing it can be to decide where to go and what to do. But he is willing to take the lead and follow her wherever she wants. This verse emphasizes the role reversal of gender norms as the man is asking the woman to lead and let him know where to go.
The final verse employs an interesting metaphor where he compares himself to a taxi to indicate that he can be available to her any day of the week. He is ready to love her wholly, in whatever way she desires. What is noteworthy is the repetition of 'bundle of joy,' indicating that he sees happiness in her company.
Overall the song seems to be an invitation to a woman to make a decision about what she wants, and when she does, she can count on him to be there for her.
