Accompaniment by Gerd Westendorp:
Lyrics
1. You tell me that the best of friends must part
Altho’ the parting may break someone’s heart
I can plainly see, dear, that someone’s me, dear
I’ve known all along, that there was something wrong
I always thought that you would stand the test
Don’t make me think that you’re like all the rest
CHORUS
Don’t throw me down, Oh, Honey
Don’t throw me down
I gave up the best years of my life for you
It isn’t fair to leave me after all that I’ve gone through
Why must we part, Oh, Honey
You’ll break my heart
I’m feeling awfully worried because
All my friends will tell me what a fool I was
And you’ll make me the laughing stock of the town
So, don’t throw me down
2. You’re acting like a little child at play
That breaks a toy and then throws it away
After all the gladness, why leave me sadness
Throughout all the years, I shared your smiles and tears
I never thought that you would make me blue
Don’t make me lose the faith I have in you
