I Let Him Love Me

You grew me like a flower I loved you like the sun You ran like water I could never ever get enough I was already yours You were never quite mine And I didn't want to see what was right in front of me What was there in your eyes You said that you shouldn't, so I took a drive You said that you wouldn't ever change your mind But I met a man, one who was ready When you said that you couldn't, baby I let him love me There's a river in your eyes As you whisper your heartache And hang your head in the porch light I used to die to hear you say my name I got a chip on my shoulder Now that we're older And I can see what you did when I loved you like a kid And somehow the whole time you're waitin' for this You said that you shouldn't, so I took a drive You said that you wouldn't ever change your mind But I met a man, one who was ready When you said that you couldn't, baby You don't get me now 'cause you didn't want me then And you're still playing games you'll never win I'm all out of tears, you're all out of time I've lived in the palm of your hand and now I've got you in mine The answer is no, never again You're reckless like a boy and he loves me like a man You said that you shouldn't, so I took a drive You said that you wouldn't ever change your mind But I met a man, one who was ready When you said that you couldn't, baby I let him love me I let him love me You gotta let go of me Let him love me
