Let Me Know
Leo Sayer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will there ever be another time
You gotta let me know
I was hoping you would understand
Love was never meant to be so blind
You gotta let me know
I`ve felt this way now for such a long time
And it`s taken everything I have
Just to tell you how it is -- that I feel
Won`t you let me know
We`re no strangers to this world it`s true
Everytime you cry it makes me feel so blue
Oh won`t you let me through
Take another time another place
Take this heart of mine and dry your face
Oh won`t you let me know

The repetition of "you gotta let me know" throughout the song shows the urgency and importance of communication in this relationship.
The second verse, "I was hoping you would understand, love was never meant to be so blind" indicates that the singer feels like their partner does not understand the depth of their feelings. They are questioning if their partner truly knows what love is and if they are capable of reciprocating those feelings.
