Don't Let Me Down
Lennon/McCartney

Lyrics:
Don't let me down
Hey, don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down

Nobody ever loved me like she does
Oo she does, yes she does
And if somebody loved me like she do me
Oo she do me, you she does

Don't let me down
Hey, don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down

I'm in love for the first time
Don't you know it's gonna last
It's a love that lasts forever
It's a love that had no past

Don't let me down
Hey, don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down

And from the first time that she really done me
Oo she done me, she done me good
I guess nobody ever really done me
Oo she done me, she done me good

Don't let me down
Hey, don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down

I'm in love for the first time
Don't you know it's gonna last
It's a love that lasts forever
It's a love that had no past

Don't let me down
Hey, don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Hey hey ah
Don't let me down

What Goes On? Anomalies

0:01-0:04
Sound from amps (bass/guitar) causes snares to rattle. Happens at places throughout song ...
1:31
Faint Edit/fwip can be heard
1:43
Just after "it's a love that has no past", a faint "Believe it/me" is heard.

"Lennon9@earthlink" says on this :-
"Well here is one possibility....In all of the ends of the previous verses Paul plays the high E in various manners....one note slides...sixteen note flourishes etc... When 1:43 rolls around I think John looks over at Paul and says "Leave it.." just before Paul would have hit the high E.."

Seems like coincidence - there's a definite leading "S" to the words, and sounds more like " San ee eh".

* NEW * rubbersoul_12@hotmail.com also offers :-
"John calls, "Good evening" to someone entering the studio."

* NEW * Drew Hill adds :-
John says "it's in E flat" referring to the key

* NEW * Another alternative is "It's an infinite", referring to the love that lasts for ever, and has no past

1:56
Tambourine rattle, but * NEW * also reported as glass breaking.
2:12 * NEW *
Serious sound of breath in microphone!
2:25-2:27
Paul "high-harmonies" "nobody ever really done me", but so faintly it is hardly heard.
