Let Me Be the One You Need
Discover Love's Call in Bill Withers' Melody
Lyrics
May not know enough about you, babe
Expressing uncertainty about the knowledge of the person addressed.
But that can only come in time
Acknowledging that understanding and connection take time to develop.
Only know enough to make you stay
Claiming to know enough to want the person to stay in the speaker's thoughts.
On my mind
Emphasizing the constant presence of the person in the speaker's mind.
Though I met you only yesterday
Recalling a recent meeting with the person.
And only for a moment then
Highlighting the brevity of the encounter.
I knew I couldn't let you get away
Realizing the significance and not wanting to lose the person.
I just can see you, girl
Expressing the inability to forget the person.
I can be the one you love
Offering to be the love interest of the person.
Let me be the one you need
Expressing a desire to fulfill the person's emotional needs.
Take a look into your heart
Encouraging introspection into the person's feelings.
Try to find a place for me
Requesting a space in the person's heart.
Can't say I can't live without you, babe
Rejecting clichés about not being able to live without someone.
That's just some worn out loser's line
Labeling such statements as typical of someone who has lost in love.
May not know enough about you, babe
Reiterating the limited knowledge about the person but emphasizing continued thoughts.
But you stay on my mind
Stressing the persistent presence of the person in the speaker's thoughts.
I can be the one you love
Repeating the offer to be the person's love interest.
Let me be the one you need
Reiterating the willingness to fulfill the person's emotional needs.
Take a look into your heart
Encouraging a deeper exploration of the person's emotions.
Try to find a place for me
Persistently seeking a place in the person's heart.
I can be the one you love
Continuing the declaration to be the person's love interest.
Let me be the one you need
Restating the commitment to meet the person's emotional needs.
Take a look into your heart
Encouraging introspection into the person's feelings once again.
Try to find a place for me
Persistently seeking a place in the person's heart.
I can be the one you love
Repeating the declaration to be the person's love interest.
Let me be the one you need
Reiterating the commitment to fulfill the person's emotional needs.
Take a look into your heart
Encouraging continued introspection into the person's emotions.
Try to find a place for me
Persistently seeking a place in the person's heart.
I can be the one you love
Continuing the declaration to be the person's love interest.
Let me be the one you need
Reiterating the willingness to fulfill the person's emotional needs.
Take a look into your heart
Persistently seeking a place in the person's heart.
