Let Me Know
Mauro Pawlowski Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're giving each other a hard time
while we're not supposed to do so
I've been crying like a girl
you've been smashing up the lamps
and the stereo
You're a fine brunette you make
the kings of the jungle roar
You're the finest I have met this year
and many years before

Now I can't live with you
whether times are high or low
and I can't live with you
not telling me where it is
you wanna go
either way I can't stand it now
so baby stay away and please
let me know

Our hands that hold one another
do squeeze too hard sometimes
Provoking thoughts that would perfectly fit
into a gallery of famous crimes
But when your lips are near and you're giving me
one of your juicy grins
Provoking physics that would perfectly fit
into a gallery of famous sins

Now I can't live with you...

We're in a movie about madness and
about defeat with a soundtrack of a
jazzed up heartbeat I don't know what we
can do I have no idea I don't care if
you're someone else as long as you're
here with me

Now I can't live with you...

let me know
let me know




let me know
let me know

You're someone else, as long as you're
