It's a love that had 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
Oh, she done me, she done me good
I guess nobody ever really done me
Oh, she done me, she done me good

Don't let me down, hey! Don't let me down
Don't let me down

Don't let me down
Don't let me down, don't let me let down

Can you dig it? Don't let me down
