Don't Bring Me Down lyrics

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 you want me to

Oh, 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

Oh, oh no!

Don't bring me down

Oh no, no, no

Oh, oh no!

Don't bring me down

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

Do all the things you want me to, but

Oh, oh no!

Don't bring me down

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

I'm beggin'

Oh no!

Don't bring me down

Oh no, no

Baby, please!

Oh, oh no!

Don't bring me down

I need your tender lovin'

So please, don't bring me down

Oh, baby, baby, baby, don't hurt me

Don't bring me down

Oh no, please don't hurt me
