Don’t let me down, don’t let me down
Don’t let me down, don’t let me downNobody ever loved me like she does
Oh, she does, yes, she does
And if somebody loved me like she do me
Oh, she do me, yes, she doesDon’t let me down, don’t let me down
Don’t let me down, don’t let me downI’m in love for the first time
Don’t you know it’s gonna last
It’s a love that lasts forever
It’s a love that has no past (Seeking past)Don’t let me down, don’t let me down
Don’t let me down, don’t let me downAnd from the first time that she really done me
Oh, she done me, she done me good
I guess nobody ever really done me
Oh, she done me, she done me goodDon’t let me down, hey don’t let me down
Heeeee, don’t let me downDon’t let me down
Don’t let me down, don’t let me let down
Can you dig it? Don’t let me down
