By Desmond Child and David Landau



Take my hand

Show me that you're human

You've been to cool school

But it's only left you lonesome

Take my hand

Loosen up your act some

Don't put my love on trial



Chorus:

Let me be the

Let me be the one you love

Let me be the one you love

You got big old moons for eyes

Let me see the sun come up

Let me be the one you love



I know what you want

It's written in the look on your face

You think your heart don't show

Behind those heavy drapes

Lying next to you

I can hear your demons

They got you running wild



(So)

Repeat Chorus



'Cause in the night I heard you cry

Let me be the one you love...



And in the middle of the night

You look into my eyes and show your real love

(And in the middle of the night)

You look into my eyes my darling

In the middle of the night

We're in your darkened room alone

But I can see what you never show



(When you just let go)

Repeat Chorus



Let me be the one you love

'Cause in the night I heard you cry

Let me be the



(let me be)

Repeat Chorus and fade
