Please Let Me Wonder Lyrics

Now here we are together
This would've been worth waiting forever
I always knew it'd feel this way

And please forgive my shaking
Can't you tell my heart is breaking?
Can't make myself say what I planned to say

Baby
Please let me wonder
If I've been the one you love
Please let me wonder
If I'm who you're dreaming of
Please let me wonder, love

I built all my goals around you
That some day my love would surround you
You'll never know what we've been through

For so long I thought about it
And now I just can't live without it
This beautiful image I have of you

Baby
Please let me wonder
If I've been the one you love
Please let me wonder
If I'm who you're dreaming of
Please let me wonder, love

Please let me wonder
If I've been the one you love
Please let me wonder
If I'm who you're dreaming of
Please let me wonder, love

I love you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song makes me choke up every time I hear it. It makes me think of my best friend who I would really like to be my wife. But we're both married to other people. And so it goes.

Vastly underrated song, and often overlooked (hence this being only the 3rd comment).

The song to me is about the love games people can play, like playing "hard to get" etc. The song breaks it down to the girl saying "keep playing hard to get, keep me wondering if you love me as much as I love you, because it makes me love you more - please let me wonder". The lines below show this:

I built all my goals around you That some day my love would surround you You'll never know what we've been through

The first two lines are how much he loves her, yet worrying if he won't ever get her. The third line explains that if he does ever get her she won't realise what HE has been through wondering if they're meant to be - the genius in the songwriting is changing that to WE as he's been to hell and back thinking about her the whole time.

@originl now a 4th comment...loved this song - bought the album, US import, in London around 1965, hooked right away, still am, for years perplexed by the lyrics, even thought it was really 'wander',nice to read a meaning. Album has surely stood the test of time.
