Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You got me running, going out of my mind

You got me thinking that I'm wasting my time

[Chorus]

Don't bring me down, no, no, no, no, no, ooh

I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor, don't bring me down

[Verse 2]

You wanna stay out with your fancy friends

I'm telling you, it's got to be the end

[Chorus]

Don't bring me down, no, no, no, no, no, ooh

I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor, don't bring me down

[Chorus]

Don't bring me down, groos

Don't bring me down, groos

Don't bring me down, groos

Don't bring me down

[Verse 3]

What happened to the girl I used to know?

You let your mind out somewhere down the road

[Chorus]

Don't bring me down, no, no, no, no, no, ooh

I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor, don't bring me down

[Verse 4]

You're always talking 'bout your crazy nights

One of these days, you're gonna get it right

[Chorus]

Don't bring me down, no, no, no, no, no, ooh

I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor, don't bring me down

[Chorus]

Don't bring me down, groos

Don't bring me down, groos

Don't bring me down, groos

Don't bring me down

[Verse 5]

You're looking good just like a snake in the grass

One of these days, you're gonna break your glass

[Chorus]

Don't bring me down, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, ooh

I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor, don't bring me down

[Verse 6]

You got me shaking, got me running away

You got me crawling up to you everyday

[Chorus]

Don't bring me down, no, no, no, no, no, ooh

I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor, don't bring me down, down, down, down, down, down

[Outro]

I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor, don't bring me down
