Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ah, lovin' you is easy, you are on my side
We play the game strictly to our rules
We led the field, a love affair
Which made all other lovers fools
[Verse 2]
Oh
How can you ever let me down (No)
How can you ever let me down (No)
How can you ever let me down
These promises (Ah-ah) are made for us (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
[Verse 3]
We promised that we'd always have
Time for each other
Whenever I needed you, you'd be there
We promised to be true, there'd be no other
We promised that forever we would care
[Verse 4]
Oh
How can you ever let me down (No)
How can you ever let me down (No)
How can you ever let me down
These promises (Ah-ah) are made for us (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
[Verse 5]
We had to change
Ah, but you stayed the same
You wouldn't change
Oh, what a shame
[Verse 6]
'Cause lovin' you's not easy
You're not on my side
We play a game with two sets of rules
We led the field in a love affair
Ah, strictly meant for fools
[Verse 7]
Oh
Why did you ever let me down? (No)
Why did you ever let me down? (No)
Why did you ever let me down?
Those promises (Ah-ah) were made for us (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
[Verse 8]
You never have any time for me
Whenever I needed you, you're not there
You've never been true
And it's plain to see
The fact is, you never really cared
[Verse 9]
Oh
Why did you ever let me down? (No)
Why did you ever let me down? (No)
Why did you ever let me down?
Those promises (Ah-ah) we made for us (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
