She's Gonna Let You Down

Song byAmerica
in AlbumHat Trick

Written by Gerry Beckley, ©1973

Found on Hat Trick and Highway.

We're afraid she's gonna let you down

Take your money and drop you to the ground

Wouldn't want to see you messed around

After all the love you think you've found

She's gonna let you down

Doesn't matter what we say

Love's the stubbornest game to play

Given time you might see it our way

And we'll be sorry boy until that day

She's gonna break away

Remember all the times you helped us through

Now here's our chance to do the same for you

Guess the thing to do is wait around

Lend a hand when you are on the ground

She's gonna let you down

She's gonna let you down

She's gonna let you down
