Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But that don't amount to nothing
You can evolve the stars above
But that doesn't make it something
And the only way to last
And the only way to live it
Is to hold on when you get love
It's a pretty melody
It might help you through the night time
But it doesn't make it easy
To leave the party at the right time
If I'm frightened, if I'm high
It's my weakness please forgive it
At least I hold on when I get love
And I let go when I give it, give it, give it
What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Hold on when you get love
What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Hold on when you get love
What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Let go when you give it
What do I do?
The world won't listen to this song
And the radio won't play it
But if you like it sing along
Sing 'cause you don't know how to say it
Take the weakest thing in you
And then beat the bastards with it
And always hold on when you get love
So you can let go when you give it
Take the weakest thing in you
And then beat the bastards with it
And always hold on when you get love
So you can let go when you give it, give it, give it
What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Hold on when you get love
What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Let go when you give it
What do I do when I get lonely?
What do I do?
Hold on when you get love
What do I do?
I know it's true, please don't think I do
Nothing that you say or do will make you love me
Forget the song, things will go on
I keep seeing you from the dark with you above me
I know it's true, please don't think I do
Nothing that you say or do will make you love me
Forget the song, things will go on
I keep seeing you from the dark with you above me
Take the weakest thing in you
And then beat the bastards with it
And always hold on when you get love
So you can let go when you give it
Give it
Give it
Give it
Give it
Give it
Give it
The lyrics to "Let Me Love You" by Party Mix All-Stars delve into themes of love, vulnerability, and self-empowerment. The opening lines suggest that despite the abundance of discussions about love, they don't hold much value unless there is genuine substance behind them. The reference to evolving the stars implies that grand gestures alone don't define love; it requires something more substantial.
The song emphasizes the importance of endurance and perseverance in relationships. The lines "The only way to last / And the only way to live it" highlight the need to hold on and remain committed when love is received. Conversely, it also emphasizes the significance of letting go when it's time to give love to someone else. This concept suggests a balance between holding on to love when it's present and knowing when to release it when necessary.
The lyrics continue to explore the complexities of love and relationships. The mention of a "pretty melody" that helps through the night suggests that music can provide solace during difficult times. However, it doesn't make it easy to leave a social gathering or a party at the right moment, indicating that making tough decisions or letting go can be challenging.
The chorus repeats the question, "What do I do when I get lonely?" It reflects a sense of longing and uncertainty. The response advises to hold on when love is received and let go when love is given, implying that finding a balance between attachment and detachment is crucial.
The following verses encourage the listener to embrace their vulnerabilities, viewing them as strengths rather than weaknesses. It urges them to utilize their weaknesses in the face of adversity and challenges, overwhelming their enemies or "bastards" with resilience and determination. The urging to hold on when love is received allows for the ability to let go when love is given, reinforcing the idea of finding equilibrium in relationships.
Towards the end, the lyrics touch on unrequited love and the notion that nothing one says or does can force someone to love them. The mention of seeing the person from the darkness suggests a sense of longing, perhaps from a place of unrequited love. Despite this, the song still encourages embracing one's vulnerabilities, holding on to love when received, and ultimately finding the strength to let go when necessary.
Overall, "Let Me Love You" provides a contemplative exploration of love, vulnerability, and the delicate balance involved in maintaining healthy relationships. It encourages the listener to embrace their weaknesses, hold onto love when received, and possess the courage to let go when it's time to give love.

There's been a lot of talk of love
People have been discussing love frequently
But that don't amount to nothing
However, those discussions do not hold much significance
You can evolve the stars above
You may try to reach for the unreachable
But that doesn't make it something
But that alone does not make it meaningful
And the only way to last
The only way to endure
And the only way to live it
And the only way to experience it
Is to hold on when you get love
Is to hold onto love when you receive it
And let go when you give it, give it
And let go of love when you give it to others
It's a pretty melody
The music is pleasing to the ears
It might help you through the night time
It may provide solace during the darkness of the night
But it doesn't make it easy
But it does not make it effortless
To leave the party at the right time
To depart from a situation at the appropriate moment
If I'm frightened, if I'm high
In moments of fear or intoxication
It's my weakness please forgive it
It is a vulnerability, please pardon me for it
At least I hold on when I get love
However, I still hold onto love when I receive it
And I let go when I give it, give it, give it
And I release love when I give it to others
What do I do when I get lonely?
How should I cope with feelings of loneliness?
What do I do?
What should be my course of action?
Hold on when you get love
Hold onto love when you receive it
Let go when you give it
Release love when you give it to others
The world won't listen to this song
The world will not pay attention to this song
And the radio won't play it
And the radio stations will not broadcast it
But if you like it sing along
But if you enjoy it, sing along
Sing 'cause you don't know how to say it
Sing because you struggle to express it in words
Take the weakest thing in you
Find the most vulnerable aspect within yourself
And then beat the bastards with it
And then demonstrate strength by using it against your opposition
And always hold on when you get love
And always cherish love when you receive it
So you can let go when you give it
So you can release love when you give it to others
I know it's true, please don't think I do
I understand the reality, please don't assume otherwise
Nothing that you say or do will make you love me
Your words and actions cannot force you to love me
Forget the song, things will go on
Disregard this song, life will continue
I keep seeing you from the dark with you above me
I continue to envision you above me, even in darkness
Take the weakest thing in you
Identify the most fragile part of yourself
And then beat the bastards with it
And then use it to outshine your adversaries
And always hold on when you get love
And always cherish love when you receive it
So you can let go when you give it, give it, give it
So you can release love when you give it to others
Give it
Release it
Give it
Release it
Give it
Release it
Give it
Release it
Give it
Release it
Give it
Release it
Give it
Release it
