LMK Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Look, I'll give up right away
And you'll never figure out
What you said, but it's cool, baby
I'ma get me another round
[Pre-Chorus]
Saw your face in my lane
Fall in love everyday
You can chase it for the night
There's a place for you and I
[Chorus]
Let me know
It ain't that deep, either way
Let me know
Said I gotta go, don't wanna hear me say
Let me know
It ain't that deep, either way
No one's tryna settle down
All you gotta do is let me know
[Post-Chorus]
All you gotta do is let me know
Let me know
All you gotta do is let me know
Let me know
All you gotta do is let me know
No one's tryna settle down
All you gotta do is let me know
[Verse 2]
You don't read between the lines
'Bout to leave, can you read my mind?
Did you think you're my ride home, baby?
'Cause my girls are parked behind
[Pre-Chorus]
Saw your face in my lane
Fall in love everyday
You can chase it for the night
There's a place for you and I
[Chorus]
Let me know
It ain't that deep, either way
Let me know
Said I gotta go, don't wanna hear me say
Let me know
It ain't that deep, either way
No one's tryna settle down
All you gotta do is let me know
[Post-Chorus]
All you gotta do is let me know
Just let me know
All you gotta do is let me know
Just let me know
All you gotta do is let me know
No one's tryna settle down
All you gotta do is let me know
[Bridge]
I saw your eyes fall right past my waist, so let me know
I ain't gonna wait if you hesitate, so let me know
I don't wait for nothin', baby
I ain't getting nowhere movin' at your pace, so let me know
I don't wait for nothin', baby
All you gotta do is let me know
Let me know, just let me know
[Outro]
All you gotta do is let me know
Just let me know
All you gotta do is let me know
No one's tryna settle down
All you gotta do is let me know
Just let me know
All you gotta do is let me know
It ain't that deep, baby
All you gotta do is let me know
All you gotta do is let me know
Let me know
LMK Q&A
Who wrote LMK's ?
LMK was written by Kelela & Jeremiah Jerry & Asma Maroof.
What is the idea behind the "LMK" music video?
We wanted make a video that showcases the multiplicity of who Kelela is and who she has the potential to be. The video is essentially a grand unveiling featuring Kelela wearing different wigs and guises as she pushes through the club with her friends, ultimately revealing herself at the end of the v...
What did Kelela say about "LMK"?
I just want to live in a world where I can tell a guy, ‘This is the deal: I really want this. I really want you. But it’s also not that deep.’ It’s hard for men to think that a woman is capable of just wanting to get laid without being a ho. ‘LMK’ is a song that’s essentially just like, ‘Just let me...
What was the inspiration behind this song?
The moment that inspired this song was a conversation with a girlfriend who was having what we call a “weird moment.” Everybody’s experienced that on some level. It’s cute, and then it gets weird. There’s several reasons why it could get weird, but one that me and my girlfriends specifically are fam...
What does Kelela think about working with Jam City?
He’s one of the most radical producers I know. The sound is familiar and also otherworldly at the same time. And I would say he’s also radical in terms of his politics. And his come from as a white man who is participating and inspired by and operating in a realm where a lot of black music is circul...
What kind of emotion is Kelela trying to evoke with this song?
I tried to make it so that every lyric is an empowering one for women to sing, in that it’s empowering even though you’re calling somebody out. I try to stay away from victim trips and just anything that would have you think that somebody is doing something to you.
