verse
I come from a small town, how 'bout you?
I only mention it 'cause I'm ready to leave L.A.
80 miles North or South will do
I don't care where, as long as you're with me
And I'm with you, and you let me
chorus
Let me love you like a woman
Let me hold you like a baby
Let me shine like a diamond
Let me be who I'm meant to be
Talk to me in poems and songs
Don't make me be bittersweet
Let me love you like a woman
Let me hold you like a baby
Let me hold you like a baby
verse
I come from a small town far away
I only mention it 'cause I'm ready to leave L.A.
And I need you to come (and I want you to come)
I guess I could manage if you stay
It's just if you do, I can't see myself having any fun, so...
chorus
Let me love you like a woman
Let me hold you like a baby
Let me shine like a diamond
Let me be who I'm meant to be
Talk to me in songs and poems
Don't make me be bittersweet
Let me love you like a woman
bridge
We could get lost in the purple rain
Talk about the good ol' days
We could get high on something trippy
Baby, let me count the waves
chorus
Let me love you like a woman
Let me hold you like a baby
Let me shine like a diamond
Let me be who I'm meant to be
Talk to me in songs and poems
Don't make me be bittersweet
Let me love you like a woman
