Won't Let You Down
written by Gene Clark


I've got a new song for you one that I wrote yesterday
It doesn't have a tune in fact it's so new it ain't got a name
For that life of whiskey and wine  was so fine for awhile
Oh with the years and the times and the styles
Then you walked in the room    cut through the gloom
You made a new mood it wasn't too soon
And I won't let you down  I won't let you down
Even though I may not know everything that's around
And don't let me down  don't let me down
I'll give you my word  my word is all that I have

Now I went to see the gypsy queen just to find out where I stand
She said you don't need any thing you've got it all
In the palm of your hand
For that life of whiskey and wine  was so fine for awhile
Oh with the years and the times and the styles
Since you walked in the room    cut through the gloom
You made a new mood it wasn't too soon
And I won't let you down  I won't let you down
Even though I may not know everything that's around
And don't let me down  don't let me down
I'll give you my word  my word is all that I have
