Donald Height Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't let me down, don't let me down.
Nobody ever loved me like she does,
Oh, she does, yeah, she does.
And if somebody loved me like she do me,
Oh, she do me, yes, she does.
Don't let me down, don't let me down.
I'm in love for the first time.
Don't you know it's gonna last.
It's a love that lasts forever,
It's a love that had no past.
Don't let me down, don't let me down.
Don't let me down, don't let me down.
And from the first time that she really done me,
Oh, she done me, she done me good.
I guess nobody ever really done me,
Oh, she done me, she done me good.
Don't let me down, don't let me down.
Don't let me down, don't let me down.
The lyrics of Donald Height's song Don't Let Me Down reflect the fear of losing a love that is all-consuming and overwhelming. The artist pleads with his lover to not let him down, to not break his heart, and be the one who loves him like nobody ever has. The chorus itself is repetitious, which emphasizes the urgency and desperation of the artist's plea.
The artist seems to be head over heels in love, and in the second stanza, he says that this love will last forever. He acknowledges that this is his first time feeling this way and that the love he shares with his lover has no past. This could suggest that they are starting a new phase in their relationship, and he does not want anything to get in the way of it.
In the last stanza, the artist thanks his lover for doing him good and claims that nobody ever really did him like she did. This idea inculcates that the artist has finally found his soulmate and does not want to lose her. Even though he might not have had the best past experiences, he is confident that his current love is exceptional and he does not want to let go of it.
