Let Me Love You
Mario · Turning Point [2004]
Mmmm, uhh, Mmmmm, yeah,
Mmmmm, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Mmmm, uhh, Mmmmm, yeah,
Mmmm, yeah, yeah
Baby, I just don't get it
Do you enjoy being hurt?
I know you smell the perfume,
the make up on his shirt
You don't believe his stories
You know that they're all lies
Bad as you are, you stick around
And I just don't know why
If I was your man, baby you'd
Never worry 'bout, what I'd do
I'd be coming home, back to you
Every night, doin' you right
You're the type of woman, deserves good things
Fist full of diamonds, hand full of rings
Baby, you're a star
I just wanna show you, you are
Chorus:
You should let me love you
Let me be the one to
Give you everything you want and need
Baby, good love and protection
Make me your selection
Show you the way love's supposed to be
Baby, you should let me love you, love you, love you
Love you, yeah
Listen,
Your true beauty's description looks so good that it hurts
You're a dime plus ninety-nine and it's a shame
Don't even know what you're worth
Everywhere you go they stop and stare
Cause you're bad and it shows
From your head to your toes
Out of control, baby you know
If I was your man, baby you'd
Never worry 'bout, what I'd do
I'd be coming home, back to you
Every night, doin' you right
You're the type of woman, deserves good things
Fist full of diamonds, hand full of rings
Baby, you're a star
I just wanna show you, you are
Chorus:
You should let me love you
Let me be the one to
Give you everything you want and need
Oh baby, good love and protection
Make me your selection
Show you the way love's supposed to be
Baby, you should let me..
You deserve better, girl
You know you deserve better
We should be together, girl (baby)
With me and you it's whatever, girl (hey!)
So can we make this thing ours?
Chorus:
You should let me love you
Let me be the one to
Give you everything you want and need
Good love and protection
Make me your selection
Show you the way love's supposed to be
Baby, you should let me love you
Let me be the one to
Give you everything you want and need
Good love and protection
Make me your selection
Show you the way love's supposed to be
You should let me love you
Let me be the one to
Give you everything you want and need
Good love and protection
Make me your selection
Show you the way love's supposed to be
Yeah, let me love you
That's all you need baby
Mmmmm, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Mmmm, uhh, Mmmmm, yeah,
Mmmm, yeah, yeah
Baby, I just don't get it
