Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down

When you complain and criticize
I feel I'm nothing in your eyes
It makes me feel like giving 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' you, darlin'
Oh, oh no, don't bring me down

Sacrifices I will make
I'm ready to give as well as take
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, no, no, no, no
Oh no, oh no, don't bring me down
When you complain and criticize
I feel I'm nothing in your eyes
It makes me feel like giving 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, no, no, no, no
Oh no, oh no, 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
Don't bring me down
