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 to Fraser & DeBolt's song "Don't Let Me Down" express a deep longing for the support and love of a partner.

The singer acknowledges that nobody has ever loved them like their current partner does, and that the love they share is unlike any they've experienced before. The lyrics are filled with optimism and hope for a lasting future together - a "love that lasts forever" and "had no past."
The first verse specifically highlights the singer's gratefulness for their partner's love, and the second verse emphasizes the singularity of their relationship. The third verse builds on this singular love by describing how the partner has "done me good" - a phrase which seems to reference some kind of personal growth or positive change brought about by the relationship. The overall message of the song is both a plea for continued support and a celebration of the unique love shared between the singer and their partner.
