You Let Me Down Songtext
von Billie Holiday with Teddy Wilson and His Orchestra

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


You told me that I′d be wearing 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 looking for a cottage
I was measured for a wedding gown
That's how I got cynical
You put me on a pinnacle
And then you let me down, let me down
How you let me down
