I tried my best
To make you happy
My love sincere
Was clearly sappy
In your eyes, in your eyes
You see the best
In human nature
But can't remember
All the times I did you right, did you right
Only when I let you down
Only when I let you down
Never when I build you up
Only when I let you down
I know good deeds
Are always punished
But thought my love
Was in the runnin'
For your heart, from the start
You turned my wine
Back to water
And all the time
You said I left you high and dry,
And all you cite
Is when I let you down
Only when I let you down
Never when I made you proud
Only when I let you down
You had told me softly
That you would keep me fondly in your heart
But you just can't remember
The good we had together at the start
Only when I let you down
Only when I let you down
Never when I build you up
Only when I let you down
Only when I let you down
Only when I let you down
Only when I let you down
Never when I build you up
Only when I let you down
