Safire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let me be the one, baby

Let me be the one
Let me be the one
Let me be the one
Let me be the one

You don't believe that my love is true
And you said that you were going to
Going to be by my side, baby
So why don't you come and stay with me

Love me, baby and touch me all over
You gotta give me the loving I need
Open your heart, your mind, your soul
Let me be the light, the sun of your dreams

Let me be the one, baby
Stay with you tonight
Giving you all my lovin'
Oh, it can be so

Let me be the one, baby
You give your love too
Let me be the one
Oh, it can be so right

Let me be the one
Let me be the one
Let me be the one
Let me be the one

You let me when
You opened my heart and inspired my needs
Stop, take what you want from me
So why don't you come and stay with me

Love me, baby and touch me all over
You gotta give me the loving I need
Open your heart, your mind, your soul
Let me be the light, the sun of your dreams

Let me be the one, baby
Stay with you tonight
Giving you all my lovin'
Oh, it can be so

Let me be the one, baby
You give your love too
Let me be the one
Oh, it can be so right

Let me be the one, baby
Stay with you tonight
Giving you all my lovin'
Oh, it can be so

Let me be the one, baby
You give your love too
Let me be the one
Oh, it can be so right

Let me be the one, baby
Stay with you tonight
Giving you all my lovin'
Oh, it can be so

Let me be the one, baby
You give your love too




Let me be the one
Oh, it can be so right

She made this song when popular music was free to express itself. This is why I say the decade of the 1980s was the golden age of Pop music (and not only because I lived it). It was free to experiment with rhythms, styles, timbres, and it had real feeling. It wasn't ME music, it was US music — US as in you, me, family, friends, everyone, let's get together and feel good with this music! It was music you felt good about sharing with others. (I hope this makes at least a LITTLE sense.)

Today's cookie cutter music is all the same. It is dull, non-expressive, doesn't experiment with anything, and is mostly politically motivated. And it comes from the music grinder factories in Hollywood, New York City, Nashville, Chicago, Miami, etc. It all sounds the same, it feels the same, it looks and smells the same, etc. Today's post-aPOPalyptic (what I call it) "music" sounds like a bunch of loose screws and nuts someone threw into a blender. It's not something I would feel good about sharing.

There are a few shining tunes and artists here and there, mostly from independent labels, but they are the exceptions that prove the rule. Independent artists are just that... Independent. They don't feel constrained by the cookie cutter factories who say every artist must adhere to their so-called musical "standards," which really aren't more than a jumbled mass of gobbledegook. These independent artists are a breath of sweet, fresh air. They are as if the 1980s were trying to break through the walls of razor wire and electric fences and give us something good to feel about again, something to love and share and get those warm, honest, giddy feelings about.

Gives us back our feel-good music. Give us back our 80s tunes!

(A thought: I see the parallels now. The way our parents felt about their 50s and 60s music is now how we feel about our 80s and 90s music. I know, I'm dating myself, but we must all grow up sometime {why?}. It doesn't mean, however, that I must give up MY music!)


<If you made it all the way to the end, I thank you for reading. 👍 If you didn't make it this far, I thank you anyway. 🤪
