Let You Love Me
Louisa Wendorff Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Guess I caught your eye
Cause I caught you calling me baby
But I walked right by
Cause I caught you playing a game
You know what I'm saying

If you want to want me
Got to let me let you love me

Let you love me, let me let you love me
If you want to want me
Got to let me let you love me
Let you love me, let me let you love me

Yeah you might be cute
But a guy needs more than his swagger
But I'd be lying to you
If I told you it didn't matter
You got me like

Maybe I like you
If you like me too

If you want to want me
Got to let me let you love me
If you want to want me
Got to let me let you love me
If you want to want me
Got to let me let you love me
Let you love me, let me let you love me

Two hearts beating at the same pace
Got me feeling some kinda way
Two hearts beating at the same pace
Got me feeling some kinda way
Two hearts beating at the same pace
Got me feeling some kinda way
Two hearts beating at the same pace
Got me got me oh

If you want to want me
Got to let me let you love me
If you want to want me
Got to let me let you love me
If you want to want me
Got to let me let you love me

If you want to want me
Got to let me let you love me
If you want to want me
Got to let me let you love me
If you want to want me
Got to let me let you love me
Let you love me, let me let you love me

Got to let you love me

Line by Line Meaning

Guess I caught your eye
I noticed you noticing me

Cause I caught you calling me baby
You tipped your hand by saying something affectionate

But I walked right by
But I didn't show any interest

Cause I caught you playing a game
Because I noticed you trying to be suave and smooth

You know what I'm saying
You get my drift

If you want to want me
If you're truly interested in me

Got to let me let you love me
You need to allow me to open up to you and show you affection

Let you love me, let me let you love me
We need to both be willing to show each other love and affection

Yeah you might be cute
I find you attractive

But a guy needs more than his swagger
But I want someone with substance, not just confidence

But I'd be lying to you
But I would be dishonest with you
