Don't Let Me Down Again

 

Written by L. Buckingham

Baby, baby don't treat me so bad I'm the best boy that you ever had You wanna leave now and find a new start It's gonna kill me if you break my heart Ooh, once you let me down again Ooh, you're just bound to see the end Baby, baby don't treat me this way I'm gonna make it again someday There's just one thing I'd like you to know I got no more to lose if you go Ooh, once you let me down again Ooh, you're just bound to see the end Ain't no baby gonna treat me so bad I'm the best boy that you ever had Ain't no reason to find a new start It's gonna kill me if you break my heart Ooh, once you let me down again Ooh, you're just bound to see the end

WEBMISTRESS speculates:

Well, during the making of Buckingham Nicks, Lindsey and Stevie were still very much together. However, that doesn't mean they didn't have problems. I think Lindsey was writing about a worst-case scenario here, where she would "leave and find a new start," and he knows "it's gonna kill" him if she "breaks his heart." That doesn't mean he's her doormat, though. This is a warning, too: "Once you let me down again, you're just bound to see the end."
