"Leave Well Enough Alone" is a song by Uncle Sam, a R&B singer from the late 90s. The lyrics depict a person who is deeply in love with someone who is already in a committed relationship with someone else. The protagonist expresses their intense feelings for the person they desire, confessing that they have never wanted anything in the world as much as they want their love interest. From the first moment they saw this person, their heart started yearning for them. However, they acknowledge that the person they love has a partner who claims to love them as well, even though the protagonist believes that their love is stronger and more genuine. Despite their strong feelings, the protagonist understands the boundaries and respects their love interest's relationship. They admit that they can't pursue their love interest because it would be disrespectful to step out of line or interfere with their current relationship. They also pray for a change of heart, hoping that one day their love interest will realize that they are the one who truly cherishes and loves them. The chorus reflects the struggle the protagonist faces in accepting the reality that their love interest is with someone else. They understand that they need to move on and find their own happiness, but their love is too strong to easily let go. The repeated phrase "Leave well enough alone" is a reminder to themselves that it is better to not disrupt the existing relationship. Despite feeling the pain of unrequited love, the protagonist can't control their feelings. They believe that their love interest is their destiny, making it even harder for them to move on. The song ends with a plea for the person they love to understand their feelings and make a change. Overall, "Leave Well Enough Alone" is a heartfelt song about unrequited love, forbidden desires, and the internal struggle of accepting and letting go when the person you love belongs to someone else.
