🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Don't let me down
  • Don't let me down, down, down
  • Don't let me down, don't let me down, down, down
  • R-running out of time

Echo the hook

  • It's in my head, darling I hope
  • That you'll be here, when I need you the most
  • So don't let me, don't let me, don't let me down
  • D-don't let me down
don'tneedright
