Let You Love Me
Rita Ora Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I should've stayed with you last night
Instead of going out to find trouble
That's just trouble (mmm)
I think I run away sometimes
Whenever I get too vulnerable
That's not your fault (yeah)

See, I wanna stay the whole night
I wanna lay with you 'til the sun's up
I wanna let you inside
Oh, Heaven knows I've tried

I wish that I could let you love
Wish that I could let you love me
I wish that I could let you love
Wish that I could let you love me
Say what's the matter, what's the matter with me?
What's the matter with me?
Oh, I wish that I could let you love
Wish that I could let you love me now
I wish, oh, I wish, oh, I wish, oh, I wish, I
I wish, oh, I wish, oh, I wish, oh, I wish, I

And every time it gets too real
And every time I feel us sabotaging
I start running (yeah, eh)
And every time I push away
I really wanna say that I'm sorry (yeah)
But I say nothing (yeah)

I wanna stay the whole night
I wanna lay with you 'til the sun's up
I wanna let you inside
Oh, Heaven knows I've tried

I wish that I could let you love
Wish that I could let you love me
I wish that I could let you love
Wish that I could let you love me
Say what's the matter, what's the matter with me?
What's the matter with me?
Oh, I wish that I could let you love
Wish that I could let you love me now
I wish, oh, I wish, oh, I wish, oh, I wish, I
I wish, oh, I wish, oh, I wish, oh, I wish, I

I wanna stay with you 'til the morning
I wanna lay with you through the sunrise
I wanna show you that you're my only
(I wanna lay with you 'til the sun's up)
I wanna stay with you 'til the morning
I wanna lay with you through the sunrise, through the sunrise
Oh-oh-oh-oh, Heaven knows I've tried

I wish that I could let you love
Wish that I could let you love me
I wish that I could let you love
Wish that I could let you love me
Say what's the matter, what's the matter with me?
What's the matter with me?
Oh, I wish that I could let you love
Wish that I could let you love me
Say what's the matter, what's the matter with me?
What's the matter with me?
Oh, I wish that I could let you love
Wish that I could let you love me now




I wish, oh, I wish, oh, I wish, oh, I wish, I
I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish, I
