She promises to be yours forever and always
And you're too young to know it don't work out that way
When she kisses you and your heart skips
And you're ten feet off the ground
Soon you'll be crying and that's when you'll have found
That your love is gonna let you down, boy
Your love is gonna let you down
Your love is gonna let you down, boy
Your love is gonna let you down
Well, it's kisses and sweet talk
When she first starts coming round
But soon, the tears start falling down
You say every day she makes your dreams come true
But soon, those very dreams will be the death of you
Well, your love is gonna let you down, boy
Your love is gonna let you down
Your love is gonna let you down, boy
Your love is gonna let you down
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Ah-ah-ah-ah, yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Ah-ah-ah, alright
No cold denials, no one really lied
It was time spent, promises implied
And suddenly, you see something new in her eyes
And in that moment, you begin to realize
Lately, you've been walking the streets at night (All night long)
Like an empty shadow in the morning light (Mmm-hmm)
Like an empty shadow that's suddenly found (Oh yeah)
And your love is gonna let you down
Your love is gonna let you down, boy
Your love is gonna let you down
Oh, your love is gonna let you down, boy
Your love is gonna let you down (He said)
Your love is gonna let you down, boy (Let you down)
Your love is gonna let you down, alright
Your love is gonna let you down, boy
Your love is gonna let you down, ha
Your love is gonna let you down, boy
Your love is gonna let you down, oh
Your love is gonna let you down, boy
Your love is gonna let you down
And you're too young to know it don't work out that way
When she kisses you and your heart skips
And you're ten feet off the ground
Soon you'll be crying and that's when you'll have found
That your love is gonna let you down, boy
Your love is gonna let you down
Your love is gonna let you down, boy
Your love is gonna let you down
Well, it's kisses and sweet talk
When she first starts coming round
But soon, the tears start falling down
You say every day she makes your dreams come true
But soon, those very dreams will be the death of you
Well, your love is gonna let you down, boy
Your love is gonna let you down
Your love is gonna let you down, boy
Your love is gonna let you down
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Ah-ah-ah-ah, yeah
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
