Let Me
Sérgio Mendes Lyrics

Let me
Asking for permission to do or have something

Let me sit with you beside a street
Asking to sit with someone on a street and be their companion

Let me laugh with you and share your dream
Asking to share someone's happiness and aspirations

I'll be your true friend until the end, you can depend on me
Promising to be a loyal and reliable friend always

So let me, let me, say you let me
Reiterating the request for permission to be close to someone

Let me cheer you when your dreams go past
Asking to provide support and encouragement when someone's aspirations are fulfilled

Let me hold you when your world seems lost
Asking to provide comfort and solace during difficult times

Cause by now you know I love you so (you know I love ya)
Expressing love and affection for someone

Let me never ever let you go
Promising to hold onto someone and never let them go

Let me love you girl
Asking to express love and affection for a woman

Let me, your world
Asking to become someone's world, or their most important person

Cause I never felt love like this here
Expressing that this love is unique and different from past experiences

Let me take you for a walk, walk in the park
Asking to take someone on an enjoyable stroll through a park

Let me hold your hand
Asking to hold someone's hand, indicating care and affection

Let me see your spark
Asking to see someone's passion and inner drive

I desire tire
A playful and informal way to say 'I'm tired of wanting'

I don't wanna pass you
Expressing a desire to be close to someone, not leave them behind

The fact I hold your hand, can I hold your heart?
Asking if the physical touch and intimacy can be deepened into a emotional connection

Just say you let me
A gentle reminder to give permission to be close to someone

Nobody loves me quite like you love me, girl
Acknowledging that the love and affection received is unique, different and special

My body's next to your body
Expressing physical proximity and intimacy

Let me take you to the beach, eat a peach
Asking to take someone to the beach and share a fruit

Let me take you out every day of the week
Asking to take someone out on dates frequently

If I know something you don't know, baby, let me teach you
Offering to share knowledge and experiences with someone, and help them learn

Cause by now you know I love you so (you know I love ya)
Reiterating the love and affection felt for someone

Let me, let me, say you let me.
Repeating the request for permission to be close to someone

Let me.
Final request for permission to be close to someone

(la la la la) (uh)
A musical interlude, with no specific meaning

Let me never ever let you go
Final promise to hold onto someone and never let them go

Let me never ever let you go
Repeating the promise to hold onto someone and never let them go

Let me never ever let you go
Repeating the promise to hold onto someone and never let them go

Let me never ever let you go
Repeating the promise to hold onto someone and never let them go

Let me never ever let you go
Repeating the promise to hold onto someone and never let them go

Let me never ever let you go
Repeating the promise to hold onto someone and never let them go

Let me never ever let you go
Final repeating the promise to hold onto someone and never let them go
