Let It Be Me
Roland Kent Lavoie a.k.a Lobo Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I bless the day I found you,
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you, let it be me
Don't take this heaven from one,

If you must cling to someone
Now and forever, let it be me
Each time we meet love,

I find complete love

Without your sweet love
what would life be
So never leave me lonely,
Tell me you love me only

And that you'll always let it be me
Each time we meet love,
I find complete love

Without your sweet love
What would life be

Line by Line Meaning

I bless the day I found you,
I am grateful for the day I met you,

I want to stay around you
I desire to always be near you

And so I beg you, let it be me
I plead with you to choose me

Don't take this heaven from one,
Please don't deprive me of this blissful existence,

If you must cling to someone
If you need to have someone in your life,

Now and forever, let it be me
Please let me fill that position in your life always

Each time we meet love,
Everytime we connect with love,

I find complete love
I experience a feeling of wholeness and satisfaction

Without your sweet love
If I was without your affection,

what would life be
My life would be empty

So never leave me lonely,
Please don't make me feel alone,

Tell me you love me only
Assure me that you only love me

And that you'll always let it be me
And guarantee that you will always choose me.

Each time we meet love,
Everytime we connect through love,

I find complete love
I am filled with a sense of wholeness and satisfaction

Without your sweet love
If I didn't have your affection,

What would life be
My life would be lacking and incomplete.

Mr. Lavoie, I was 13 in '71 when I bought "Introducing Lobo". I've been hooked on your music ever since.
I was also born in Tallahassee, and my dad was from Lake Alfred. Our paths may have been close in the past.
Thank you so much!

I have this song and "Boo" on a POP playlist via my YT Account and only tonight I recall singing along with this song when I was a child. Your song and "Boo" were in heavy rotation on Top 40 radio back then and if my memory is correct it was in the car whenever my parents did their errands. I would sing along with this song without any shame which is amazing since I was a very shy boy. Incredible melodic composition and I hope you are still writing songs with the same careful attention to melodic craftsmanship as you did back then.

@robs5688

'I'd Love You To Want Me', along with 'Don't Tell Me Goodnight', as well as your superb cover of 'Rings' (easily the best of all versions of that song) are my Lobo favorites. I first heard 'Rings' after having bought your 'Best Of...' compilation, back in the day, and still remember thinking, "How have I not ever heard this before?" I've noticed that most people who hear it for the first time seem to have the same reaction. The instrumentation alone is astounding.
All that said, my first exposure to your music was this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49XxkiKiXPk
Although a bit labored, they managed to keep the lyrics true to the theme of your own.
Thanks for all your great music.

Did you know that this song became known worldwide in 1970 through a TV show (crime film in Germany)? It was only through this broadcast on German TV that LOBO became known. This film was seen in the US and 100 other countries.
