Don't Let Me Down Lyrics - A.j. Croce

Oh, I've been looking for a girl 

Who wanted something more than make-up and dresses 

She wouldn't care about hair styles, nail files 

It just might take a while 

But I've got all the time to wait 

I'm not afraid of being alone for awhile 

'Cause I don't need no alibis, pretty lies 

I have no need for compromise 

I want you, believe me 

I need you, deceive me 

I'm fading, don't leave me 

I'm begging, don't let me down 

Don't let me down, don't let me down 

Then I saw you in the street 

And I just knew I had to make your acquaintance 

Something like an old friend, start to end 

I could feel my heart start to mend 

Last night I dreamt that I had drowned 

Beneath the water on the floor of the ocean 

As I lay among the shells and sand 

Your hand pulled me up to dry land 

I want you, believe me 

I need you, deceive me 

I'm fading, don't leave me 

I'm begging, don't let me down 

Don't let me down, don't let me down 

Don't let me down 

It?s almost funny when you're all alone for too long 

You start to feeling that there's something that you've done wrong 

When you find the one in all the worlds corrected 

You never plan it out it?s when you least expect it 

Now you're protected, even respected 

I want you, believe me 

I need you, deceive me 

I'm fading, don't leave me 

I'm begging, don't let me down 

Don't let me down, don't let me down 

Don't let me down
