if you're after a favour
a friend or helping hand
don't let me let you down

hold me to my commitments
because i'm fucked without my plans
and please don't let me let you down

just imagine i'm sitting
with my head inside my hands
make me useful and don't let me let you down

and though i'm prone to drink in bars alone
i'll always be around
so please don't let me let you down

i'm simple and forgiving
on the face of it i'm bland
i put off work i go to shows
but i know you'll understand

if you've ruined your evening
and you're standed in the town
you can call me and i will not let you down

if you're drunk or you're boring
or regret your one stand
i'll be near you so don't let me let you down

and when no one gets your humour
and your punchlines never land
i'm all ears so don't let me let you down

just don't put the blame on me
unless you really think you can
and please don't let me let you down

cus if you don't let me down gently
then i am not a stable man
things have to go my way
i can't play the little lamb

in your room in your bed
spare a thought for this old ham
promise me you won't let me let you down

unless you ask me to relieve you
well then i couldn't give a damn
i'm a faker but don't let me let you down

i've been a flake i've been a coward
i mistake all your commands for suggestions
but don't let me let you down

and i crumble under pressure
and i struggle to keep friends
i am weary but don't let me let you down

when i'm drunker than i should be
and my friends are in the crowd
and i screw up all the lyrics
and i speak the wrong way round

but when i'm dead and forgotten
buried deep within the ground
please remember that i never let you down

and if i did well i didn't mean to
i was likely in demand
i get so busy but don't let me let you down

and i swear i'll make it up to you
cus i can't afford the drama
of losing your friendship or romance

don't keep me in suspense much longer
put my life inside your hands
and please don't let me let you down
