David Bowie - Never Let Me Down Lyrics






When I believed in nothing
I called her name
Trapped in a high-dollar joint
in some place
I called her name
And though my days are slipping by
And nights so cruel
I thought I'd die
She danced her little dance
'till it made me cry
She was shakin' like this honey doing that

When I needed soul revival
I called your name
When I was falling to pieces
I screamed in pain

Your soothing hand that turned me round
A love so real
swept over me
You danced your little dance
'till it made me cry
You were shakin' like this honey doing that

Never let me down She never let me down
Never let me down She never let me down

When all your faith is failing Call my name
When you've got nothing coming Call my name

I'll be strong for all it takes
I'll cover your head
till the bad stuff breaks
I'll dance my little dance
till it makes you smile
Shaking like this honey doing that

Never let you down I'll never let you down
I'll never let you down
I'll never let you down

David Bowie Never Let Me Down Comments
  1. j.... ....

    Brilliant voice

  2. L.... S....

    I love this song.

  3. c.... ....

    Such a great song I honestly don't understand the underwhelming industry reaction & critical reviews. Maybe the album isn't one of Davids finest but it's his what 15th or 16th studio album? If you say ten tracks on every LP that's 160 songs after all that work the man was still writing real quality & "Never Let Me Down" still has some killer songs on it. My God I'd be the proudest man on the Planet if I ever wrote a single song this good. The man was simply brilliant a bona fide genius.

  4. F.... M....

    so beautiful video clip

  5. D.... S....

    Underrated AF. Love that guitar, love those drums, and that voice.

  6. R.... G....

    "Last Christmas, I gave you my heart, but the very next day, you through it away...." (same baseline you can sing one song over the other).

  7. l.... b....

    I miss him so,. Thank you for the upload

  8. R.... C....

    One of best songs on really good album.

  9. U.... V....

    😓😭😭 Bowie

  10. p.... ....

    Bowie at his assumingly creative worse, is 100000000% better than anything in the current hit parade.

  11. A.... �....

    A true pop gem that will never fade

  12. D.... R....

    ......my wife

  13. W.... P....

    Tal vez no haya sido su mejor album, pero tiene una emotividad sincera

  14. F.... M....

    so beautiful song

  15. V.... M....

    So many bad people still alive making damage in this world, and Bowie is gone.

  16. U.... V....

    Ohh Bowie 😭

  17. M.... T....

    Awesome!...

  18. J.... B....

    I loved this album in 1987 and still do today. It's not one of his best, but it's worlds better than 'Tonight' ( the only song I like on that one is "Neighborhood Threat"). This album is sloppy and has some slight songs on it, but it's not boring. As far as I can tell from the two dozen or so Bowie albums I've owned, he's only released one boring album. Not a bad track record

    J.... B....

    Lodger's not all that great to me either. Loving the Alien from Tonight is great to me though.

  19. j.... m....

    Para mí es un excelente trabajo este disco del gran David.

  20. R.... F....

    Great song

  21. G.... A....

    This is my all time favorite song - EVER! No frills or thrills type of thing but this song just gets me every time. ♥️

  22. M.... L....

    Essa é top
    ☆♡☆♡☆♡

  23. C.... ....

    Um ... nope.

  24. R.... ....

    I started to cry...

  25. e.... m....

    it's hard to pic a favorite Bowie song but this is in my top 5

  26. L.... V....

    i hear some Sledgehammer influence on a bass part and now can't un-heard it

  27. N.... B....

    Miss u every day David

  28. Y.... t....

    Who was the little girl at the end of the video??Lexi wasn’t born until the next year… make it make sense

  29. S.... T....

    He never let me down. Only when he died .😔

  30. g.... ....

    Fuck the 80s haters. This is one of Bowie's best songs.

  31. M.... M....

    One of the greatest musicians of the 1970- 1980s Genius. Helped so many great talents. I could wright a book. What a man..

  32. B.... S....

    The ways that man could move

  33. S.... O....

    Such pleasant beautiful music <3

  34. A.... D....

    He is there for us as the world falls down.

  35. J.... A....

    Lennonesq lyric in lennon voice

  36. L.... I....

    Beautiful Boys and Bad Girls

  37. N.... C....

    I know that David wasn't crazy about this album after he made it but I love it especially this song

  38. M.... ....

    Bowie, man. Many would say this is a long way from being his best work, but that doesn't stop it from being better than about 99% of pop music.

  39. p.... a....

    Excelente canción y vídeo¡¡ y es una pena que el vídeo y la canción sea poco conocido .

  40. P.... B....

    Space Oddity, Man who Sold the
    The World, Earthing., Tonight and Black Tie White Noise are all far worse albums than this

  41. J.... 8....

    his least personal and most pointless video

  42. B.... V....

    While it gets a lot of flak, I think David survived the 80s with much more class than other Classic Rock acts

    B.... V....

    He started with more too.

  43. E.... C....

    I start to think the pain has gone. Then, I just play his old videos and start to remember I really miss him so much. ❤️

    We all love you, mr. Bowie.

  44. S.... A....

    Depesche Mode

  45. H.... S....

    Best track of the Album I reckon... and it's made for Coco Schwab ...... and Joey d'alessandro in the intro ....love that.

  46. M.... ....

    The end is amazing. I love it.

  47. J.... C....

    This song is a tribute to John Lennon, who was a good friend of Bowie's, who co-wrote the #1 hit, "Fame," and sings back-up on it (listen to the descending "Fame, fame, fame, fame" part)...Bowie sounds like John in this song, and copies John's harmonica playing...

  48. G.... C....

    De Dua Lipa à Sam Smith peu importe avec qui il travaille Calvin Harris transcende la musique et nous emporte dans son univers... Pour moi c'est la figure marquante de 2018.

  49. L.... L....

    For Coco....

    When I believed in nothing I called her name
    Trapped in a high-dollar joint in some place I called her name
    And though my days are slipping by
    And nights so cruel I thought I'd die
    She danced her little dance 'till it made me cry
    She was shakin' like this honey doing that
    When I needed soul revival I called your name
    When I was falling to pieces I screamed in pain
    Your soothing hand that turned me round
    A love so real swept over me
    You danced your little dance 'till it made me cry
    You were shakin' like this honey doing that
    Never let me down
    She never let me down
    Never let me down
    She never let me down
    When all your faith is failing
    Call my name
    When you've nothing coming
    Call my name
    I'll be strong for all it takes
    I'll cover your head till the bad stuff breaks
    I'll dance my little dance till it makes you smile
    Shaking like this honey doing that
    Never let you down
    I'll never let you down
    I'll never let you down
    I'll never let you down

    Ugh I finished the whole channel :(

  54. F.... ....

    Almost 2019, don't let me down

  55. A.... S....

    The biggest tribute Bowie paid Schwab was in the 1987 song he wrote about her, Never Let Me Down. He described it as one of his most personal, and it included the lyrics:

    When I needed soul revival I called your name
    When I was falling to pieces I screamed in pain
    Your soothing hand that turned me round
    A love so real swept over me
    Hello Coco Schwab

  56. k.... ....

    How can one man be so gorgeous and talented. David you are one beautiful phenomenal genius. Love you. 😍😘❤️💋👏💗 xxxx

  57. G.... C....

    Si vous trouvez que l'harmonica n'est pas glamour, écoutez Bowie. Adieu David

  58. J.... f....

    Some people do not realize the work you put in, you just appear David, not quite x Jensz x
    and tube suggestions are useless and bore me to death.

  63. j.... ....

    This should be a single now

  64. G.... S....

    Isnt he dead?

  65. e.... ....

    I'm guessing the reimagined 2018 version will strip this back and bring out more if that lennon vibe

    e.... ....

    I guess not. Something off with new version but it is growing on me i have to say

  66. K.... M....

  88. P.... G....

    Me encanta "never Let me down" de mis canciones favoritas de BOWIE !!! México presente 🇲🇽

  89. c.... ....

    There's something about this song, David's voice, the way he sings, it ravishes me softly from my solar plexus to my mind..
    a feeling as of demure giggles inside.
    It was a companion and comfort when I was a somewhat solitary & shy teen, I liked to fall asleep with this playing on my walkman

  90. S.... S....

    Lovely 💋 this very Lennon-esque little peach of a song (i read somewhere years ago that this is Davids 'Woman')has me dancing around the kitchen with my 3month old son, whose middle name is Bowie ✌ Brilliant upload, plz keep 'em coming...★

  91. B.... O....

    Always loved this video/song!!!

  92. e.... ....

    i love how in so many of these music videos he just appears in the strangest places and starts singing its so funny

    e.... ....

    since when do any music videos ever make sense

    e.... ....

    Emi Dots reminds me of Stan Lee

    e.... ....

    I habe Bowie, the first 1987 in Berlin have seen ,live.
    Unforgetten.

    e.... ....

    Yeah like most of the time he just appears from the shadow's

    e.... ....

    Watch the music video without sound and play death metal over it, it makes it really funny. almost bearable even.

  93. k.... ....

    The absolute worst of Bowie.

  94. L.... A....

    When i was falling to pieces 🎶🎶

  95. C.... S....

    Of course he knows how to play the harmonica.... why did I even remotely question it?

    C.... S....

    Christine Shane A very pleasant surprise:-)

  96. B.... U....

    Look I love Bowie but even he panned this album, weak song but I love Glass spider track off the album & the entrance of it on the same tour!

  97. m.... k....

    ok brother

  98. S.... G....

    The legend that is David Bowie 🎵🎵🎸🎸👍👍👍
