Lotta Engberg och Christer Sjögren Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But then I stumbled and fell
I know I didnt treat her right, and thats a shame
Ive got my story to tell
I was so young, innocent and naive
She broke my heart when she told me to leave
It took me long enough to find, but now youre always on my mind
Chorus:
Dont let me down, dont let me down
Squeeze me, thrill me, say you love me too
Dont let me down, dont let me down
Cause baby this time I dont wanna let you go
Your little wrinkles are not visible at all
Not from a distance youre still hot
So many years have passed but you are still the same
A little greyer so what
Now when were older and wiser we know
That the experience of life makes love grow
It took me long enough to find but now youre always on my mind
Chorus
No, baby this time I dont wanna let you go
