Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm not saying it was your fault

Although you could've done more

Oh, you're so naive, yet so

How could this be done by such a smiling sweetheart?

Oh, and your sweet and pretty face

It's such an ugly world

For something so beautiful

Oh, that every time I look inside

[Chorus]

I know, she knows that I'm not fond of asking

True or false, it may be, well, she's still out to get me

And I know, she knows, that I'm not fond of asking

True or false, it may be, she's still out to get me

[Verse 2]

I may say it was your fault

Because I know you could've done more

Oh, you're so naive, yet so

How could this be done by such a smiling sweetheart?

Oh, and your sweet and pretty face

In such an ugly world

For something so beautiful

That every time I look inside

[Chorus]

I know, she knows that I'm not fond of asking

True or false, it may be, well, she's still out to get me

And I know, she knows, that I'm not fond of asking

True or false, it may be, she's still out to get me

[Verse 3]

So how could this be done by such a smiling sweetheart?

Oh, you're so naive, yet so

It's such an ugly thing

For someone so beautiful

I'll die every time you're on his side

[Chorus]

I know, she knows that I'm not fond of asking

True or false, it may be, well, she's still out to get me

And I know, she knows, that I'm not fond of asking

True or false, it may be, she's still out to get me

[Outro]

Just don't let me down

Just don't let me down

Hold on to your kite

Just don't let me down

Just don't let me down

Hold on to your kite

Just don't let (Hey, hold on)

Just don't let me down

Hold on to this kite

Just don't let (Hey, hold)

Just don't let me down
