"If You Let Me" – An Aftermath outtake, recorded 3–6 March 1966: appears on Metamorphosis
Does anybody know anything more about this song? Who is it about? Too early for Marianne and it's not likely to be Chrissie.

You don't really understand
How it feels to be your man
You're just nice to have around, now
But I'll let you guess
You can get me
If you let me oh yes

It's nice to talk to you today
It's very pleasant anyway
Is this as far as you go, girl
But I'll let you guess
You can get me
If you let me oh yes

You can get me

If you let me oh yes

Yes, you're younger than I thought
You're so tall and I'm so short
It doesn't matter anyhow
but I'll let you guess
You can get me
If you let me oh yes

It's a brand new thing for me
Loving you so physically
The time has come to say goodnight
But I'll let you guess
You can get me
If you let me oh yes
Oh yes

When was this actually recorded!?

I've seen it credit to Aftermath sessions - 1966 August sessions at RCA, and the following sessions at Olympic in November. confused smiley

It's about Allen Klein.

Klein doesn't fit this sentence "You're so tall and I'm so short"

Try to translate Klein (Dutch) in to Englisch

The presumption is that it's Micks lyrics. Maybe not. It might be Keith's song. After all Mick admitted he had little to do with a song like 'Ruby Tuesday'

Mick was ahead of his time when he wrote this verse:

I was joking. Klein in German is "small". Is it the same in Dutch?

It's about global warming.

... But seriously, I love the slide guitar (or whatever it is) at the end of each chorus. In fact, what instrument IS that? Been wondering for years, thanks.

There are quite a few songs on Metamorphosis that I have a soft spot for. 'Walkin' Thru The Sleepy City' is another one.

Shame there's so little known about the song.
