I'ts 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
Oooh, she done me, she done me good
I gues nobody ever really done me
Ooh, 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
