She promises to be yours forever and always

And you're too young to know it don't work out that way

When she kisses you and your heart skips

And you're ten feet off the ground

Soon you'll be crying and that when you'll have found

That

Your love is gonna let you down, boy

Your love is gonna let you down

Your love is gonna let you down, boy

Your love is gonna let you down

Well it's kisses and sweet talk

When she first starts coming round

But soon tears start falling down

You say every day she makes your dreams come true

But soon those very dreams will be the death of you

Well

Your love is gonna let you down, boy

Your love is gonna let you down

Your love is gonna let you down, boy

Your love is gonna let you down

No cold denials, no-one really lied

It was time spent, promise implied

And suddenly you see something new in her eyes

And in that moment you realize

Lately you've been walking the streets at night

Like an empty shadow in the morning light

Like an empty shadow that's suddenly found

That your love is gonna let you down

Your love is gonna let you down, boy

Your love is gonna let you down

Your love is gonna let you down, boy

Your love is gonna let you down
