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
