Written and performed by TheGuruofSloth to the tune of “Don’t You Want Me” by The Human League

Albus Dumbledore:
You were working for the Order
As our trusted spy
So I vouched for you
I offered my protection
And I gave you a job
I turned you into someone new
Now just two years ago
Was when the Dark Lord returned
Life got a little harder for you
But don’t forget
It’s me who brought you into the fold
And I can put you back out too

Don’t, don’t you fail me
You know I can’t believe it
When I feel you might betray me
Don’t, don’t you fail me
You know I don’t believe you
When you say that you still need me
It’s much too late to find
You think you’ve changed your mind
You’d better change it back
Or we will both be sorry

Both:
Don’t you fail me, Severus
Don’t you fail me, ohhhh
Don’t you fail me, Severus
Don’t you fail me, ohhhh

Severus Snape:
I was working for the Order
As your trusted spy
That much is true
But what makes you so sure
That I am still on your side?
Maybe I can’t wait to kill you
You know how skilled I am
At closing off my own mind
To the likes of you
But now I think it’s time
I lived my life on my own
So I’ll do what I must do

Albus Dumbledore:
Don’t, don’t you fail me
You know I can’t believe it
When I feel you might betray me
Don’t, don’t you fail me
You know I don’t believe you
When you say that you still need me
It’s much too late to find
You think you’ve changed your mind
You’d better change it back
Or we will both be sorry

Both:
Don’t you fail me, Severus
Don’t you fail me, ohhhh
Don’t you fail me, Severus
Don’t you fail me, ohhhh

Don’t you fail me, Severus
Don’t you fail me, ohhhh
Don’t you fail me, Severus
Don’t you fail me, ohhhh

Don’t you fail me, Severus
Don’t you fail me, ohhhh
Don’t you fail me, Severus
Don’t you fail me, ohhhh

Severus Snape:
I won’t fail you, Albus
I won’t fail you, Headmaster
I won’t fail you, Albus
I won’t fail you, Headmaster
