“Don’t Bring Me Down”

Don’t bring me down
Don’t bring me down, don’t bring me down

You complain and criticize
I feel I’m nothin’ in your eyes
It makes me feel like givin’ up
Because my best just ain’t good enough

Girl, I want to provide for you
And do all the things that you want me to

But don’t, oh no, don’t bring me down
I’m beggin’ ya, darlin’
No, oh no, don’t bring me down

Sacrifices I will make
I’m ready to give as well as take
The one thing I need is your respect
One thing I can’t take is your neglect

More than anything, I need your love
Then troubles are easy to rise above

But don’t, oh no, don’t bring me down
Oh no, oh no, no, no
Oh no, oh no, don’t bring me down

[break]

When you complain and criticize
I feel I’m nothin’ in your eyes
It makes me feel like givin’ up
Because my best just ain’t good enough

Girl, I want to provide for you
And do all the things that you want me to

But don’t, oh no, don’t bring me down
Oh no, oh no, no, no
Oh no, oh no, don’t bring me down, yeah

Don’t bring me down, don’t bring me down
Don’t bring me down, don’t bring me down
Don’t bring me down, don’t bring me down
Don’t bring me down, don’t bring me down
