Spent all my money on everyone else
Why, I just kept handing it out right and left
They didn't appreciate none of my help, I have found
Had me a man, I was so much in love
But he just walked off after using me up
I cried like a baby, it hurt me so much
And I'm down, yeah I'm sure down

I know that I'm down, but I'm gonna get up
I just need some time, just need a little streak of good luck
And you know that it's rough
When you're biting the dust like I am
You try to do right but tell me where does that get you?
People just use you and then they forget you
Well it won't take me long to get my feet back on solid ground
But now I'm down

When I get my life back in order again
I'll still be willing to help out, my friend
And if you need somebody on which to depend, look around
I'll be spending my money on everyone else
I'll just be handing it out right and left
I'll find a new love, I won't live by myself
I'm just down now, yeah I'm down

I know that I'm down, but I'm bound to get up
I just need some time, just need a little streak of good luck
And you know that it's sure rough
When you're biting the dust like I am now
You try to do right, but tell me what does that get you?
Lovers just use you, oh but don't they forget you?
Well it won't take me long to get my feet back on solid ground
I'm just down
I know that I'm down
But I'm bound to get up
