Let Me Be Yours
Lillo Thomas Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Aku malu.
Aku malu...
Aku malu...

Pertama kali berjumpa
Denganmu kekasihku
Dunia seolah kan runtuh
Makanpun tak enak

Tidurkupun tiada nyenyak
Selalu teringat oh dirimu

Inikah oh namanya
Insan sedang jatuh cinta
Mengapa semua begitu indah dilihat
Begitu sedap dipandang
Seolah kuingin selalu tersenyum
Tapi ah aku malu
Padamu

Aku malu.
Aku malu...
Aku malu...

Tiap kata kau ucapkan terasa indah saja
Selalu teringat dan tak lupa
Kau katakan kau sayang padaku oh kasihku
Masih banyak lagi rayuanmu

Inikah oh namanya
Insan sedang jatuh cinta
Mengapa semua begitu indah dilihat
Begitu sedap dipandang
Seolah kuingin selalu tersenyum
Tapi ah aku malu
Padamu
Kasihku...

Eiyeiye.
Aku malu...
Aku malu...
Ooooo...

Jatuh cinta...
Aku malu...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Lillo Thomas's song "Let Me Be Yours" describe the feeling of falling in love for the first time and the vulnerability and shyness that comes with it. The singer admits to feeling embarrassed and nervous around their partner, despite their intense feelings of love. The simple act of eating and sleeping become difficult, as they cannot stop thinking about their significant other. The song paints a picture of the overwhelming and all-encompassing experience of being in love.

The lyrics also touch upon the beauty and joy that come with love. The singer describes how everything looks and feels different, and how they want to smile all the time. However, their shyness and nervousness prevent them from fully expressing their feelings. They feel self-conscious and perhaps inadequate around their partner, unsure of how to show them how much they mean to them.

Overall, the song captures the emotional journey of falling in love - the highs and lows, the beauty and vulnerability, and the difficulties in expressing how one really feels. It is a relatable and timeless theme that many can connect with.

Voice was timeless. i would put him up against anybody, then and now, and still he would blow em out the water! this is when music sound good, and meant something, and made you feel some kind of way bout that girl you really want, and just step to her saying these words "Let Me be Yours". I know bout it, Cuz I did it! A few times!!

@bourgeoisbrats

Yeah, it's almost like your taste in music instantly turns you into someone that we "know" already! Know what I mean? It would be interesting to know if you really intended for that to happen, or not. Maybe that's just some subliminal "by product" of posting music on YouTube. It brings all the people with similar musical taste together, when in all likelihood they probably never would have met in "real Life". And that's probably not the only thing we all have in common :-) Deep...

oh yeah he wrote lots of material and also produced for others(whiched i like rather than his remakes) but he went overboard with the remakes if he wanted to go that route he should have done a burt bacharach albulms like OTHERS have done instead of giving the impression that HE DID those songs or not GIVING burt the credit he deserves thats why i say all that talent why did he do this but your right there is ni comparision to luther and lilo-says uzipolo-king of decatur

cant hate on lilo tho he was the truth unlike luther who kept doing remake after remake which absolutly made no sense and he died broke in the process and didnt get paid when OTHER wrote the songs and stuff like that i dont kno why he did this. he could CLARLY WRITe / produce his own shit thats why his fans disowned him in the mid-late 90's luther had a powerhouse behind him, but so did lili--the Mighty M Productions--says uzipolo-king of decatur

we ALL KNOW luther didnt die broke BUt he could have made WAY MORE MONEY if he didnt do OTHER PEOPLE songs which m\eans he was B.S'ing the core audiences of his by being lazy he defitnnly need to do this because he had a powerhouse of a team behind him especially marcus miller and the label but i mean damn i could see 1 or 2 songs remakes BUT NOT 10-12 tahst bulshit in my book he didnt need to do it, which means THE ORIGINAL WRITERS get the money-saysuzipolo-king of decatur
