Wouldn't Let Me Love You (feat. Richard Marx) Lyrics


I'm standing here paralyzed
So helpless right before your eyes
And all that you can seem to do is look away
I know this weight that's on my shoulders
Is telling me it's really over
And now goodbye's the only thing that's left to sayYou were always worth the risk
But how'd it come to thisCause I've opened up my heart to bleed
I Let you have the best of me
But you wouldn't let me love you
You couldn't let me love you
I tried to give you what you need
But it took so long to finally see
That you wouldn't let me love you
Couldn't let me love youSomehow you said all the right things
To cover up the pain you're hiding
And never let me in close enough to touch
You live with all these walls around you
Impossible for me to break through

And baby even I can only fight so muchAnd it's cutting me so deep
Promises I tried to keepCause I've opened up my heart to bleed
I let you have the best of me
But you wouldn't let me love you
You couldn't let me love you
I lied to give you what you need
But it took so long to finally see
That you wouldn't let me love you
Couldn't let me love youAnd you should have been the one
The more I love, the more you runI opened up my heart to bleed
I let you have the best of me
But you wouldn't let me love you
You couldn't let me love you
I tried to give you what you need
But it took so long to finally see
That you wouldn't let me love you
Couldn't let me love youCouldn't let me, wouldn't let me
You wouldn't let me love you
Couldn't let me, wouldn't let meI'm standing here paralyzed
So helpless right before your eyes
And all that you can do is look away

Richard Noel Marx (born September 16, 1963 in Chicago, Illinois) is an adult contemporary singer and songwriter. He had a string of successful hit singles in the late 1980s and early 1990s, including "Right Here Waiting," "Hazard," and "Hold On To The Nights." Although most of his successful songs were slow ballads like these, many of his songs had an upbeat, classic rock style, such as "Don't Mean Nothing," "Should've Known Better," "Satisfied," and "Wait For The Sunrise." Marx placed himself in the record books by being the first solo artist to have his first seven singles hit the top 5 on the US charts.

Marx was born to Dick and Ruth Marx. Marx grew up in a mixed faith household where father was Jewish and his mother was a Christian. His father was a jingle writer for commercials, which is where Marx got his start writing at the tender age of five. His father also was talented jazz musician, well-known in the Chicago area.

At the age of 17 Marx created a demo to showcase his talents, which landed in the hands of Lionel Richie. Richie invited Marx to Hollywood saying, "I can't promise you anything, but you should come to L.A." Marx would eventually appear as a background singer in Richie's songs "You Are," "Running With the Night," and on his follow-up album including the smash hit "All Night Long".

*Richard Marx*
Marx's first self titled album went multi-platinum, selling nearly 4 million copies. He earned his first #1 single, "Hold On To The Nights", which he told Songfacts.com was inspired by a friend who had the dilemma of having met the love of his life, at a time when both he and the girl in question were already in relationships. He also had several other top five hits including "Don’t Mean Nothing" (#3), "Should've Known Better" (#3) and "Endless Summer Nights" (#2).
He revealed in an interview on VH-1 Classic that his favorite song that he performed from his first, self-titled album was "Have Mercy."

*Repeat Offender*
Repeat Offender eventually moved into the #1 spot and gave Marx two more #1 hit singles.

*Rush Street*
Rush Street's "Hazard" (#1), which depicted a man's rejection in a fictional version of Hazard, Nebraska. He released Paid Vacation in 1994, Flesh & Bone in 1997, Days In Avalon in 2000 and My Own Best Enemy in 2004.

Richard Marx also sang with Donna Lewis, best known for her hit "I Love You Always Forever", on the track "At the Beginning" of the Anastasia soundtrack. He has sung background vocals for Madonna in her True Blue album.

He has served as a writer/producer for an extensive list of other recording artists, including Barry Manilow, Barbra Streisand, Keith Urban, 98 Degrees, Kenny Loggins, Emerson Drive, Luther Vandross, Michael Bolton, *NSYNC, Olivia Newton-John, Sarah Brightman, SHeDAISY, John Farnham and Vince Gill.

Marx has been married to Cynthia Rhodes, who starred in the 1987 blockbuster Dirty Dancing and is a former lead singer for 80s pop band Animotion, since 1989. The couple has three sons: Brandon, Lucas, and Jesse. Brandon is the eldest followed by Lucas then Jesse.

One of Marx's most recent works is a song titled "Remember When", composed to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Disneyland. Performed by LeAnn Rimes, the song may be heard on the park's official 50th Anniversary album, as well as selected times in the park.
