[Verse 1]

I knew it'd turn out like this

I'm keeping one foot on the train

And I must be a masochist

To ever take up with you, James


[Pre-Chorus]

It sounds familiar, that tone in your voice (Oh, oh)

You're gonna quit, James, you leave me no choice (Oh, oh)


[Chorus]

Oh, James

Letting me down again, James


[Verse 2]

Well, it wasn't so long ago

I saw love in your eyes

And I think I should've known

But I'm feeling somewhat surprised


[Pre-Chorus]

You think there's someone better for you (Oh, oh)

You think I'm too young to see this thing through (Oh, oh)


[Chorus]

Oh, James

Letting me down again, James


[Bridge]

Ooh, let me down, do-do (Down, down)

Ooh, let me down, do-do (Let me down, down, down, down)

Ooh, let me down, do-do (Down, down)

Ooh, let me down, do-do (Let me down, down, down, down)

Ooh, let me down, do-do (Down)


[Verse 3]

I knew it'd turn out like this

I'm keeping one foot out the door

And I don't think I should trust

That kind of love anymore


[Pre-Chorus]

And now I realize I had it all wrong (Oh, oh)

I'll only take this trip for so long (Oh)


[Chorus]

Woah, James

Letting me down again, James

Guess it's goodbye again, James

Letting me down again

Letting me down again, James
