let me be

Gnarls Barkley

It s been a long time
Since I had some peace and quiet, mm
An opportunity
Talk to myself in private, yeah

And I don t have any mirrors at home
I don t have nothing
The clocks on every wall are all wrong
Nothing matters to me
The party s over everyone is gone
Mm, everyone s gone
And I wonder why I waited so long
Let me be

Oh, if you say you love me
Let me be
Please give me some time
Let me be
And a little understanding
Let me be
Oh, for a little while

That s a beautiful picture
Of my unhappy family
No matter how hard they try
They ll never understand me, no, no

And I don t have any mirrors at home
No mirrors
The clocks on every wall are all wrong
I don t care about time
The party s over, everyone is gone
Rather be all alone
And I wonder why I waited so long
Why

Let me be
If you really love me
Let me be
Give me some time
Let me be
And some understanding
Let me be
Oh, just a little while
