Let Me Know
R.Kelly feat Aaliyah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In this club while you are there
Take these shots to numb the pain
But that don't help, the scar's still there
Don't you ever think about it?
I know you gotta think about it
A love that's so undoubting
How can we ever live without it?
When it's real, it's worth fighting for
Baby, it's worth dying for
And I won't let you down
Baby girl, I'm on the next flight out
Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah
I won't give up, nah-nah-nah
Let me love you
Let me love you
Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah
I won't give up, nah-nah-nah
Let me love you
Let me love you
I just wanna love you
I just wanna love you
Don't you give up
Don't you give up
Don't you give up
I just wanna love you
No one said this would be easy
There's a chance we might get hurt
Baby, love is like an ocean
Well I wanna dive in head first
That means no more pretending
I need you like the air I breathe in
Our love is a new religion
'Cause it's everything that I believe in
When it's real, it's worth fighting for
Baby, it's worth dying for
And I won't let you down
Baby girl, I'm on the next flight out
Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah
I won't give up, nah-nah-nah
Let me love you
Let me love you
Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah
I won't give up, nah-nah-nah
Let me love you
Let me love you
I just wanna love you
I just wanna love you
Don't you give up
Don't you give up
Don't you give up
I just wanna love you
Yeah yeah, I'm coming back for it
That's mine and you know it
Like a shot at the buzzer, we can't blow it
There's a key to my soul and you hold it
You stole it, it's yours, yeah yeah
Who love you like I do?
Go into the sun, come up like I do?
Girl, smiling 'cause you know this shit true
You know that shit true
Do you believe in second chances
Fairytales, summer romances
Like I do?
'Cause baby, I know, listen
Baby, I won't
Go through this thing called life
Without you by my side
Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah
I won't give up, nah-nah-nah
Let me love you
Let me love you
Don't you give up, nah-nah-nah
I won't give up, nah-nah-nah
Let me love you
Let me love you
In the first verse of R. Kelly's Let Me Know featuring Aaliyah, the singer finds himself in a club where his ex-partner is also present. The situation is clearly affecting him deeply, as he chooses to numb the pain with shots but finds that the scar, the memory and pain of the past relationship, is still there. He wonders if his ex-partner ever thinks about the love they once shared, a love that was strong and unwavering, and how they can live without it. R. Kelly believes that love is worth fighting for and dying for - and he is ready to do both. He refuses to give up on the relationship and assures his ex-partner that he will not let her down. He is ready to take the next flight out to be with her and love her again.
In the second verse, R. Kelly acknowledges that love is not easy, and there is a risk that they might get hurt again. However, he wants to dive headfirst into love and leave all pretences behind. His love for his ex-partner is like a new religion, one that he believes in with all his heart. He is willing to fight for their relationship and make all necessary sacrifices to keep their love alive. He returns in the bridge, reinforcing that no one loves her like he does, and she knows it. He references how their relationship has been tested in the past but asks if his partner believes in second chances and fairytales, as he does. The song ends on a positive note, with Kelly asserting that he won't go through life without his partner by his side.

I know I've got no business here
I shouldn't be in this club, but I am
In this club while you are there
I'm in the same club as you are
Take these shots to numb the pain
I'm drinking to forget
But that don't help, the scar's still there
Drinking doesn't do much to help the pain
Don't you ever think about it?
Do you ever think about our love?
I know you gotta think about it
I know you think about it too
A love that's so undoubting
Our love is true and unwavering
How can we ever live without it?
We can't live without our love
When it's real, it's worth fighting for
True love is worth fighting for
Baby, it's worth dying for
It's worth risking everything for love
And I won't let you down
I'll never disappoint you
Baby girl, I'm on the next flight out
I'll come to you right away

All I want is to love you
No one said this would be easy
We knew this wouldn't be easy
There's a chance we might get hurt
We might get hurt, but it's worth the risk
Baby, love is like an ocean
Love is vast and unpredictable
Well I wanna dive in head first
I want to experience love deeply
That means no more pretending
We need to be honest with each other
I need you like the air I breathe in

Our love is a new religion
Our love is like a spiritual experience
'Cause it's everything that I believe in
Our love is important to me
Yeah yeah, I'm coming back for it
I'll never give up on our love
That's mine and you know it
We belong together
Like a shot at the buzzer, we can't blow it
We have to take our chance
There's a key to my soul and you hold it
You have a special place in my heart
You stole it, it's yours, yeah yeah
You won my heart, it belongs to you
Who love you like I do?
No one else loves you like I do
Go into the sun, come up like I do?
Can anyone else make you feel as good as me?
Girl, smiling 'cause you know this shit true
You know that what I'm saying is true
Do you believe in second chances
Do you believe we can make our love work?
Fairytales, summer romances
Do you believe in romance and happy endings?
Like I do?
Like I believe in it?
'Cause baby, I know, listen
I'm sure our love is real
Baby, I won't
I will never
Go through this thing called life
Live my life
Without you by my side
Without you in it
Let me love you
Let me show you my love
