Let Me
SonReal Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know that I ain't perfect for you, perfect for you
And I understand, understand, understand
I'm certain that I'm worthy for you, worthy for you
So please give me a chance, just a chance
I see you in that news, baby
What is up with that?
Now here I've been your smile, been your smile
I don't mean to be blind
But I really don't give a fuck

Let me be your man
Let me be your man
Cause I see this is what you got, baby
So let me hold your hand

One time that hater was looking at me like I was so damn fussy
She just needed some attention and I ain't afraid to give it to her

That's my bitch
People always want things that they can't have
From the second I saw you, I knew I will be that nigga
You thought I was too addicted and wanted to send me to rehab
To send me to rehab
'That's word to my mother
And I ain't too funny when I 'm being nervous
But I when I see their faces '
'It never down on you
It never won for you
I don't mean to be'
But I really don't give a fuck
So listen to that tonight
All I need is your love

Cause I don't care about the take-up, take-up
All I need is your love
Cause I ain't here just for a day-job, day-job
All I need is your love
All I need is your love

Let me be your man
Let me be your man
Cause I see this is what you got, baby
So let me hold your hand

Let me be your man
Let me be your man




Cause I see this is what you got, baby
So let me hold your hand

Overall Meaning

The song “Let Me In” by SonReal is about a man who wants to prove to his lover that he is worthy of her love, despite his imperfections. He acknowledges that he may not be perfect, but he feels that he is worthy and hopes for a chance to prove himself. The chorus, “Let me be your man, let me hold your hand” shows the man’s desire to be with his lover and support her through anything. The lyrics also touch on jealousy and insecurity, but the man ultimately declares his love and asks for a chance to be with his partner.


In the verses, the man talks about seeing his lover in the news and not understanding what’s going on, but still being there for her as her support system. He also takes a jab at a hater who was looking at him weird, but he’s not afraid to give her attention. The lyrics “People always want things that they can’t have” speaks to the idea of desiring what we can’t have, but the man believes that he can be what his lover needs.
