You told me I was Like an angel,
Told me I was fit to wear a crown;
So that you could get a thrill,
You put mre on a pedestal,
And then you let me down, let me down!

You told me that I'd be wearin' diamonds,
I would have the smartest car in town;
Made me think that I'm the top,
And then you let the ladder drop,
You know you let me down, let me down!

I walked upon a rainbow, I clung onto a star,
You had me up in heaven, that's why I had to fall so far!

I was even lookin' for a cottage,
I was measured for a weddin' gown;
That's how I got cynical,
You put me on a pinnacle,
And then you let me down, let me down!
Ah, you let me down!
