He'll teach you to wait by the phone

And then won't call

Throw your life in a turmoil

And when you fall

Just when you need him most

He won't see you

Don't let him

Don't let him

Don't let him get you down



When your dreams get shattered

Down where nothing matters

But if he won't have you

You can bet your life

Bet your life

It's not the end

And if he can't see

What a friend you are

That's his loss

It's not the end



Don't let him

Don't let him

Don't let him get you down



Watch his lips while he speaks

And read his eyes

It's a figure of speech

So don't be surprised

When he talks of love

But his deeds can break you

Don't let him

Don't let him

Don't let him get you down
