Let Me In
Slim Paul Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, It's two in the mornin'
My good mama taught me well
You can take a damn good lovin
From a woman that rings your bell
I've been so hard to you sweet darlin'
You’re so better than me
Did treat you like a woman
Didn't see you were a lady
Come on closer now I'm another man on another scene
I want to be the Friend and the Lover
If you see what I mean
Let me in
Baby, it's three o'clock in the mornin'
Still tryin to figure it out
No good decisions will grow in
Let's tomorrow decide
I know you hate my apologize
I hate to let you see me as weak
But I am Good and the Evil
For your love I can be as sick
Come on closer now I'm another man on another scene
I want to be the Friend and the Lover
If you see what I mean, so Let me in
Baby we both can see the sun rising
N I’m still behind your door
I’ve spent all night in desiring
For you to take some more
Silly Sally, sweep the dust
We’ve been through that before
I got a couple of ideas for a couple like us
To get back on the shore
Come on closer now I'm another man on another scene




I want to be the Friend and the Lover
If you see what I mean, so Let me in

Overall Meaning

In Slim Paul's song "Let Me In," the lyrics suggest the singer is apologizing to his lover for not treating her well in the past. He acknowledges that he has been hard on her and hasn't treated her like a lady, but he wants to change that now. The singer is asking for forgiveness and permission to be part of her life again. He uses the metaphor of wanting to be both a friend and a lover, indicating that he wants more than just a physical relationship - he wants to be emotionally connected to her as well.


The lyrics also suggest that it is late at night, and the singer has spent the whole night thinking about his love and wanting to be with her. He seems to recognize that they have made mistakes in the past, but he wants to try and make things work. Although he may have been the "evil," he wants to make it up to her and be the "good."


Throughout the song, Slim Paul's raspy voice adds a raw and emotional feel to the lyrics. The bluesy guitar and harmonica that accompany the song also emphasize the emotion in the song. "Let Me In" is a heartfelt plea for forgiveness, and the lyrics convey the singer's willingness to change and make things work.
