Buckingham Nicks Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, baby don't treat me so bad
I'm the best boy that you ever had
You want to leave now and find a new start
It's gonna kill me if you break my heart

Ooh once you let me down again
Ooh, you're just bound to see the end

Baby, baby don't treat me this way
I'm gonna make it again someday
There's just one thing I'd like you to know
I got no more to lose if you go

Ooh, once you let me down again
Ooh, you're just bound to see the end

Overall Meaning

In Buckingham Nicks's song "Don't Let Me Down Again," the singer is begging their lover not to leave them. In the first stanza, the singer explains that they are the best partner their lover has ever had, and if their lover leaves them it will break their heart. The second stanza continues with the singer reassuring their lover that they will make it without them someday, but they want them to know that they have nothing left to lose if they go. The chorus emphasizes the pain that the singer will feel if they are let down again, and warns that it will lead to the end of their relationship.

Overall, the lyrics seem to be a plea for the lover to stay, but also a warning that if they leave, it will be the end of the relationship. The pain of being let down before is still fresh in the singer's mind, and they don't want to go through it again. The song is a raw, emotional plea for their lover to reconsider leaving.

I'm asking you, my dear love, to please stop treating me so unfairly
