Never Let Me Down Again Lyrics
[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
I'm taking a ride with my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
He knows where he's taking me
Taking me where I want to be
I'm taking a ride with my best friend
[Chorus: Martin L. Gore & Dave Gahan]
We're flying high
We're watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down on the ground
[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
I'm taking a ride with my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
Promises me I'm as safe as houses
As long as I remember who's wearing the trousers
I hope he never lets me down again
[Chorus: Martin L. Gore & Dave Gahan]
We're flying high
We're watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down on the ground
We're flying high
We're watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down on the ground
[Interlude]
[Bridge: Dave Gahan]
Never let me down
Never let me down
Never let me down
Never let me down
[Outro: Martin L. Gore & Dave Gahan]
See the stars, they're shining bright
(Never let me down)
Everything's all right tonight
(Never let me down)
See the stars, they're shining bright
(Never let me down)
Everything's all right tonight
(Never let me down)
See the stars, they're shining bright
(Never let me down)
Everything's all right tonight
(Never let me down)
See the stars, they're shining bright
(Never let me down)
Everything's all right tonight
(Never let me down)
