Let Yourself Love


Written about an old friend who played it cool and pretended she didn’t really want a partner. Years later she admitted that she didn’t think she deserved love so it was less painful for her to pretend that she already had want she wanted. Sometimes it’s easier to pretend than to do the hard work required for lasting change. – Stevie J Mayer

Lyric Video


LET YOURSELF LOVE

Stevie J Mayer

Yes I’ve been watching you and quite frankly I’m surprised
I thought you had it all worked out
I see you hiding somethin’, running away from somethin’
I can see it in your eyes
Yet on the surface you look as cool as ice
Oh come on baby I see it all the time
You don’t have to hide it I’ve been there once or twice
No one will find out how wonderful you are inside

If you don’t let yourself love
Let yourself love, just let yourself love

And when you’re feeling lonely, you think it’s just you only
You got your head stuck in the sand
You say nobody likes you, and when somebody tries to
You just play catch me if you can
But it the meantime you’ll be the also-ran
Oh come on darlin’ I’ve seen it all before
You don’t have to fight it, okay you win the war!
It’s you you’re hurtin’, you’ll never find out what your life is for

If you don’t let yourself love
Let yourself love, just let yourself love
Better let yourself…

Love ain’t that stuff you find in trashy magazines
That crap’s designed to keep you poor
Guess they’re okay on how to mend your jeans
But you and I both want more, yeah

[INSTRUMENTAL]

Let yourself love, ooh you better let yourself love
Come on girl, you know what I’m talkin’ about
Come on girl it’s gettin’ late
Ooh what have you got to lose?
I’m a nice guy
Come on babe, yeah come on
Let yourself love, here we go
You gotta let yourself, let yourself love
