You got me running, going out of my mind
You got me thinking that I'm wasting my time
Don't bring me down
No, no, no, no, no
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down
You wanna stay out with your fancy friends
I'm telling you, it's got to be the end
Don't bring me down
No, no, no, no, no
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down, grroosss!
Don't bring me down, grroosss!
Don't bring me down, grroosss!
Don't bring me down
What happened to the girl I used to know?
You let your mind out somewhere down the road
Don't bring me down
No, no, no, no, no
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down
You're always talking 'bout your crazy nights
One of these days, you're gonna get it right
Don't bring me down
No, no, no, no, no
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down, grroosss!
Don't bring me down, grroosss!
Don't bring me down, grroosss!
Don't bring me down
You're looking good, just like a snake in the grass
One of these days, you're gonna break your glass
Don't bring me down
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down
You got me shaking, got me running away
You got me crawling up to you everyday
Don't bring me down
No, no, no, no, no
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down, down, down, down, down, down
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down
