Please Love Me Lyrics

[Written by Melanie Safka]
[1971]

Please love me
Please, please love me
After all my show is absolutely free
So please love me
Tell them all
The price is low
The high don't fall
They've loved much less
And paid much more for company
Don't build me up
Don't tear me down,
Just let 'em see
The song's the thing that makes it free
But maybe I'm wrong
If the price is high
Then they will love the song
If that's the case
Than they'll erase all that I've sung
They're gonna rest a**ured
That I was singing just for fun
And that I couldn't really
matter to no one
How could I matter if I'm free
Oh won't you please love me
Please, please love me
Please love me
Please, please love me
It's all much grander
Than the pennies and the cheers
It's what you get
from living all these years
And then seeing me,
Won't you please love me, ah

Please, please love me
After all my show is practically free
So please love me
