[Verse 1]
I ain't ever gonna let you down
All you got to do is trust me
I would never make you some clown
Baby, why won't you trust me?

[Chorus 1]
You give up so easily
I don't know why you can't see
I'm depending on you
Don't let me down
I'm depending on you

[Verse 2]
Baby, if you can't change the world
Maybe you should just change yourself
You used to be such a sweet young girl
Why you wanna be someone else?

[Chorus 2]
You give up so easily
I don't know why you can't see
I'm depending on you
Is it too late now?
I'm depending on you

[Chorus 1]
You give up so easily
I don't know why you can't see
I'm depending on you
Don't let me down
I'm depending on you

[Outro]
Yeah, I'm depending on you
Is it too late now?
I'm depending on you
I'm depending on you
I'm depending on you
Is it too late now?
I'm depending on you

Tom Petty

Thomas Earl “Tom” Petty (October 20, 1950 – October 2, 2017) was an American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. He was the frontman of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and was a founding member of the late 1980s supergroup The Traveling Wilburys and Mudcrutch.

He has recorded a number of hit singles with the Heartbreakers and as a solo artist, many of which remain heavily played on adult contemporary and classic rock radio. His music, and notably his hits, have become popular among younger generations as he continued to host sold-out shows right up until his death at the age of 66. Throughout his career, Petty and his collaborators have sold 60 million albums. In 2002, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
