## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Verse 1]

Much as you blame yourself, you can't be blamed for the way that you feel

Had no example of a love that was even remotely real

How can you understand something that you never had?

Ooh, baby, if you let me, I can help you out with all of that

[Chorus]

Girl, let me love you

And I will love you

Until you learn to love yourself

Girl, let me love you

And all your trouble

Don't be afraid, girl, let me help

Girl, let me love you

And I will love you

Until you learn to love yourself

Girl, let me love you

A heart of numbness gets brought to life

I'll take you there

Girl, let me love you

Girl, let me love you, baby, oh

Girl, let me love you

Girl, let me love you, baby

Girl, let me love you

Let me love you, let me love you, oh

[Verse 2]

I can see the pain behind your eyes

It's been there for quite a while

I just wanna be the one to remind you what it is to smile

I would like to show you what true love can really do

[Chorus]

Girl, let me love you

And I will love you

Until you learn to love yourself

Girl, let me love you

And all your trouble

Don't be afraid, girl, let me help

Girl, let me love you

And I will love you

Until you learn to love yourself

Girl, let me love you

A heart of numbness gets brought to life

I'll take you there

Girl, let me love you, baby

Girl, let me love you

Let me love you, let me love you, baby

Girl, let me love you

Girl, let me love you, baby

Girl, let me love you

Let me love you, girl, let me love you, baby

[Bridge]

For every heart that beats

For every heart that beats

For every heart that beats

For every heart that beats

Heart that beats

Heart that beats

Heart that beats

Heart that beats

[Chorus]

Girl, let me love you

And I will love you

Until you learn to love yourself

Girl, let me love you

And all your trouble

Don't be afraid, girl, let me help

Girl, let me love you

And I will love you

Until you learn to love yourself

Girl, let me love you

A heart of numbness gets brought to life

I'll take you there

[Outro]

Girl, let me love you

Let me love you, baby, love you, baby

Girl, let me love you

Let me love you, babe, love you babe, ooh-ooh-ah
