Tom Tom lived for all he could give
And he stood by his father's side
Then into his world came a sweet young girl
And he took her for his bride
He took her for his bride.

Tom Tom turn around
Don't ever let me down
Don't ever leave me my life
Tom Tom turn around
Don't ever let me down
Take me for your wife
Please take me for your wife.

Tom Tom's called away
But his wife says stay!
He's never had to leave before
Sweet young wife
Only fears for the good life
That she may see no more
And then he hears her call.

Tom Tom turn around
Don't ever let me down
Don't ever leave my life
Tom Tom turn around
Don't ever let me down
You can't leave your wife
No. You can't leave your wife

Tom Tom returns
But only to learn, there was truth
In the words he'd ignored
Sweet young wife
Found a new kind of life
And a strong man's heart was torn
Will he always hear that call?

Tom Tom turn around...
Don't ever let me down
Don't ever leave my life
Tom Tom turn around...
Don't ever let me down
You can't leave your wife
No. You can't leave your wife

Tom Tom's alone in a world of his own
When he hears a new voice call
'Be my man - I'll do all that I can'.
Is this what he's been waiting for?
He turn's and answer her call

Tom Tom turn around
I'll never let me down
I'll never leave your life
Tom Tom Turn around
I'll never let me down
Take me for your wife
Please take me for your wife

Tom Tom turn around
I'll never let me down
I'll never leave your life
Tom Tom Turn around
I'll never let me down
Take me for your wife
Please take me for your wife

And Tom Tom turned around
And Tom Tom turned around
