[Chorus]
Don't let me down, don't let me down
Don't let me down, don't let me down

[Verse 1]
And for the first time that she really loved me
Ooh, she loved me
Yeah, she does
And if somebody ever really loved me
Ooh, she loves me
Yes, she does

[Chorus]
Don't let me down, don't let me down
Don't let me down, don't let me down

[Bridge]
I'm in love for the first timе
Don't you know it's gonna last?
It's a love that lasts forever
It's a lovе that has no past

[Chorus]
Don't let me down, don't let me down
Don't let me down, don't let me down

[Verse 2]
And from the first time that she really done me
Ooh, she done me
She done me good (yeah, that's right)
I guess nobody ever really done me
Ooh, she done me
She done me good

[Chorus]
Don't let me down, ooh, don't let me down
Don't let me down, don't let me down

[Outro]
Please, please
Please, please

The Beatles are arguably the most famous, critically-acclaimed, and successful rock band of all time—certainly the preeminent group of the 20th century. They started out as four teenagers playing grimy basement clubs in Liverpool and Hamburg, but they progressed to become world-beating rock stars who are still influential to this day.

John Lennon first formed a skiffle group called The Quarrymen in March 1957. A fifteen-year-old Paul McCartney joined shortly thereafter, eventually inviting his friend George Harrison to audition for the band. After finally impressing John with his guitar skills, George was asked to join—but this juncture would be short-lived as John’s departure to college signaled the other quarrymen to go their separate ways.

By 1960, Lennon, McCartney, and Harrison had re-branded from ‘Johnny & the Moondogs’ to ‘The Silver Beetles’ at the behest of their new bass player, Stuart Sutcliffe. The name would eventually evolve into ‘The Silver Beatles’ by July of that year, before settling on ‘The Beatles’ come August—just in time for their trip to Hamburg with new drummer, Pete Best. Though club residencies in Germany would prove fundamental to the group’s progress as a whole, the tour turned out to be a blessing and a curse, following the deportation of a then-seventeen-year-old George Harrison, and the eventual tragic death of Stuart Sutcliffe.
