Twisted Sister is an American heavy metal band from New York City popularized in comedic music videos on the television channel MTV in the 1980s. Although formed by guitar player Jay Jay French in 1973, all of their songs were written by the lead singer Dee Snider. They fused the shock tactics of Alice Cooperand W.A.S.P., the rebellious mood of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, the style of the New York Dolls, and the extravagant makeup of Kiss. Often misconceived as glam - the makeup and Dee's especially was more transformed into a horror creation, and the music is a lot more hard hitting, with less lyrics about sex, than glam rock. The group's hit songs include "We're Not Gonna Take It" and "I Wanna Rock".

Don't Let Me Down Lyrics

Twisted Sister

Look at you, you're my dream
Are you all that you seem?
Now you have what I need and what I believe
Don't tell me you'll lose it, 'cause I'll have to leave

Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down

What do I have to give
Until you let me live?
You're all that I work for but that's not enough
Do I have to die too to show you my stuff?
Well, I give you my best
So, why don't you understand?
I'm passing the biggest test
So, don't cry, lend a hand

Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down

Solo - left: Eddie, right: Jay Jay

Head held high, heart in hand
Flesh and blood, make a man
If that disappoints you, well, what can I say?
I don't want you to hurt, I just want to play

Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down

Don't let me down, no, don't let me
Don't let me down, no
Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down, no, no, no, no
Don't let me down, no
