Never Let Me Down

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

When I believed in nothing I called her name

Trapped in a high-dollar joint in some place

I called her name

And though my days are slipping by

And nights so cruel I thought I'd die

She danced her little dance 'till it made me cry

She was shakin' like this honey doing that

When I needed soul revival I called your name

When I was falling to pieces I screamed in pain

Your soothing hand that turned me round

A love so real swept over me

You danced your little dance 'till it made me cry

You were shakin' like this honey doing that

Never let me down She never let me down

Never let me down She never let me down

When all your faith is failing Call my name

When you've nothing coming Call my name

I'll be strong for all it takes

I'll cover your head till the bad stuff breaks

I'll dance my little dance till it makes you smile

Shaking like this honey doing that

Never let you down I'll never let you down

I'll never let you down I'll never let you down
