Let Me Be
Wesley Jensen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I can't help it
Got it in my feet
If you don't want to dance with me
Make your way out
Mama let me be
Mama let me be
So shackles can't be found
I'm about to take these walls
And knock them down
I don't want to make a scene
But I can't help it
Gonna shuffle my feet
If you don't think you can hang with me
Then make your way out
Boy let me be
Boy let me be
Cuz I'm gonna turn around this town
So shackles can't be found
I'm about to take these walls
Down
And I'm
Cuz it's about to come undone
You
You can't stop me now
Oh can't you see
Got time and no sleep
With all my trouble leaving me
Nowhere else I'd rather be
Cuz I'm gonna turn around this town
So shackles can't be found
I'm about to break these walls
You
You can't stop me now
You can't stop me now cuz
Well I can't help this
Feeling frayed
It's like a sickness
Taking over me
Taking over me
Well I can't help this
Feeling frayed
It's like a sickness
Taking over me
Taking over me
Taking over me
