Oh! Darling (Live At Abbey Road, UK / 2009) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Oh! Darling, if you leave me
I'll never make it alone
Believe me when I beg you
Don't ever leave me alone

[Chorus]
When you told me you didn't need me anymore
Well, you know I nearly laid down and cried
When you told me that you didn't need me anymore
Well, you know I nearly laid down and died

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
When you told me you didn't need me anymore
Well, you know I nearly laid down and cried
When you told me you didn't need me anymore
Well, you know I nearly laid down and died

[Verse 4]
Oh! Darling, please believe me
I'll never let you down
And believe me when I tell you
I'll never do you no harm

Florence appears to take inspiration from The Beatles in her own songwriting. When asked by Forbes about the influences behind her 2015 album How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, Florence cited the band:

I was listening to a lot of Neil Young and The Beatles—a lot of these really rootsy classic writing styles. I was looking for something that was a bit more rooted. I think there’s a warmth to it.
