Johnny Paycheck Lyrics
"Love (Don't Let Me Down)"

(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice)

Love don't let me down
'Cause my heart is sorrow bound
Without you what's life worth
I may drown myself in these little drops of hurt.

If it isn't raining what's this in my eyes
I know it can't be teardrops for a man ain't supposed to cry
I see a cloud of sadness filling up the sky
And falling down as drops of hurt cause something precious died.

Love don't let me down
'Cause my heart is sorrow bound
Without you what's life worth
I may drown myself in these little drops of hurt.

Hurt is like a river flowing wide and deep
And even though it has a bed the river never sleeps
And like that restless river of muddy misery
I can't find a place to run from what's inside of me.

And I said say love don't let me down
'Cause my heart is sorrow bound
Without you what's life worth
I may drown myself in these little drops of hurt.

And I said, say love don't let me down
I said, say love don't let me down
Let me talkin' love don't let me down
I said, say love don't let me down...
