Lyrics

I don't wanna feel down

'Cause my name is getting around

I said, a whole world is letting me down now

'Cause I don't know where I'm bound

Yes, I guess I'm going down, down, down

And I feel I'm gonna drown

Yeah, I guess I'm going down, down, down

And I feel I'm gonna drown

Once I used to be high

Now all my friends pass me by

I got teardrops in my eye

Somebody else got all the smiles

Because I guess I'm going down, down, down

And I feel I'm gonna drown

Oh, I guess I'm going down, down, down

And I feel I'm gonna drown

Going down, down, down

Going down, down, down

Going down, down, down

Going down

Got to help me now

Because I'm going down, down, down

Down, down, down, down

I said, right down to the ground now

Need a little help now

Somebody got to help me now

Oh, my friend

I guess I'm going down, yeah

Somebody should ride on

But how can I ride on

When I'm going down, down, down

Going down, down

Going down, down, down

Going, going

I know I'm going down

Right down to the ground now

I got to get some help

I need a little help now

Oh, brother friend

I got to get some help now

Because I'm going down now

How can I find it?

I need some kind of help now

Down, down, down now

Down, down, down
