Song

Oh! Darling

Release date: 26 September 1969

Oh darling, please believe me,
I'll never do you no harm;
Believe me when I tell you,
I'll never do you no harm.

Oh darling, if you leave me,
I'll never make it alone;
Believe me when I beg you,
Don't ever leave me alone.

When you told me
You didn't need me anymore,
Well, you know I nearly broke down and cried.
When you told me
You didn't need me anymore,
Well, you know, I nearly fell down and died.

Oh darling, if you leave me,
I'll never make it alone.
Believe me when I tell you,
I'll never do you no harm.

Believe me, darling.

When you told me
You didn't need me anymore,
Well, you know I nearly broke down and cried.
When you told me
You didn't need me anymore,
Well, you know, I nearly fell down and died.

Oh darling, please believe me,
I'll never let you down.
Oh, believe me, darling.
Believe me when I tell you,
I'll never do you no harm.
