Let Love Down
Lady GaGa Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't remember when
He looked at me and cried
Said something broke inside of you
Were my best friend
Whatever come our way
You know I'm your gal 'till the e-e-end

When I finally go away
I know you'll look for me one day

When you let love down
Oh you let love down
I don't have to remind you
But you know that I'm around
When you let love down
Oh you let me down
Get a little love down
Let it down oh oh

I can't remember when
You put your hands on mine
But couldn't play in time when we
We're not together
Just sing a little song
Blueberry kisses foreve-e-er

When I finally go away
I know you'll look for me one day

Oh yeah it's so sad

When you let love down
Oh you let love down
I don't have to remind you
But you know that I'm around
When you let love down
Oh you let me down
Get a little love down
Let it down oh oh

Oh oh
Don't let me down
Oh don't let me down
Oh oh

When you let love down
Oh you let love down
I don't have to remind you
But you know that I'm around
When you let love down
Oh you let me down
Don't let me down
Let it down
Can't let love down
Let it down




Won't let love down
Let it down

I think she should release an album of old unreleased work. Don't market it or release singles, just the music.

It's on the Pure Songs album, I ordered one on Ebay.
