Let Me Love You
King Crimson · Other Songs - King Crimson
There is nothing in the world i wouldn't do for you
Yes if you would let me love you, baby
Ain't nothing in the world i wouldn't do for you
I would even try to walk on water, woman
If you would just say,
"baby i love you too"
If you let me love you, baby
I'll buy you a car made of gold
I'll even give you a fountain of youth, baby
So you will never grow old
Just let me love you, woman
Ain't nothing i wouldn't do in this world
I want you to call me your boy, woman
Baby, and i'm gonna call you my girl
Yeah, i'l lhire you a teacher, baby
To read you storybooks
I'll make you a talkin' mirror, woman
Just to tell you how good you look
Ain't nothing i wouldn't do in this world
I want you to call me your boy, woman
Baby, and i'm gonna call you my girl
Yes, i'm gonna fall on my knees
Would even call the lord
Just to seed the dimple, baby
In your cheeks when you smile
Let me love you
Ain't nothing in the world i wouldn't do for you
I say i would try to walk the water, baby
If you say that you love me too
