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
