Don't Let Me Down
The Beatles · Past Masters (Remastered) [2009]
Don't let me down, Don't let me down
Nobody ever loved me like she does
Oooo she does... yes she does
And if somebody loved me like she does
Ooo she does... yes she does
Don't let me down, Don't let me down
Don't let me down, Don't let me down
I'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
Don't let me down, Don't let me down
Don't let me down, Don't let me down
And from the first time that she really done me
Oooo she done me... she done me good
I guess nobody ever really done me
Ooo she done me... she done me good
Don't let me down, Don't let me down
Don't let me down, Don't let me down
