I Won't Let You Down
Unwavering Love: Kenny Lattimore's Promise of Consolation
Lyrics
I won't let you down
I promise not to disappoint you.
Don't worry 'bout me leavin'
Don't be concerned about me leaving.
I'll be around, so good, so right
I will be present and supportive; everything will be good and right.
Everyday, every night
Consistent reassurance of my commitment every day and every night.
Hey, girl with the sad eyes
Addressing a girl with sad eyes.
I want to kiss the pain away
Expressing a desire to alleviate her pain through a kiss.
Just wanna hold you long enough
Wanting to hold her long enough to show she doesn't need to feel sad.
To know that you don't have to feel that way
Expressing care and empathy, assuring her she doesn't have to feel that way.
I know somebody hurt you
Acknowledging past hurts inflicted by someone else.
I will never make you cry
Promising not to cause her pain, emphasizing love over tears.
All I have is love inside, give me your broken heart
Offering love and asking for her broken heart.
And I'll put all your fears aside
Committing to putting aside her fears.
I won't let you down
Reiterating the commitment not to let her down.
Don't worry 'bout me leavin'
Reassuring her not to worry about him leaving.
I'll be around, so good, so right
Stating the continued presence and the goodness of their relationship.
Everyday, every night
Repeating the promise of everyday and every night support.
I know it ain't easy baby
Acknowledging the difficulty of letting one's guard down.
Letting your guard down again
Understanding the challenge and offering support.
You don't have to tell me
Recognizing there's no need for her to explain.
Assuring her of understanding without words.
You don't have to pay for all the tings he put you through
Indicating she doesn't need to pay for past emotional burdens.
Now that you have me in your life
Highlighting his presence in her life as a positive change.
No more sad and lonely
Promising an end to sadness and loneliness.
Now that you're not the only one it's you and I
Expressing a shared journey with "you and I" instead of solitude.
I won't let you down
Reaffirming the commitment not to let her down.
Don't worry 'bout me leavin'
Reiterating that she shouldn't worry about him leaving.
I'll be around, so good, so right
Stating the ongoing presence and the rightness of their relationship.
Everyday, every night
Repeating the promise of everyday and every night support.
You know that I won't go I'll be around
Emphasizing continued availability and presence.
Baby don't you know you don't have to worry
Assuring her not to worry, reinforcing commitment.
'Cause you know I won't go
Reiterating the commitment not to leave.
You don't have to worry
Encouraging her not to worry, emphasizing reliability.
I won't let you down
Reaffirming the commitment not to let her down.
Don't worry 'bout me leavin'
Reassuring her not to worry about him leaving.
I'll be around, so good, so right
Stating the continued presence and the rightness of their relationship.
Everyday, every night
Repeating the promise of everyday and every night support.
