Don't bring me down Nothing has to last forever Don't bring me down If you wanna stay together You can push me only for so far And you are If you want me around then Don't bring me down Tell me, why you gotta dump your load on me I don't want it at all So I say to you, take your eyes and look the other way Or you will see me fall You've got pain I know I see But why you gotta take it out on me Don't bring me down Nothing has to last forever Don't bring me down If you wanna stay together You can push me only for so far, and you are If you want me around then Don't bring me down Hear me, why you gotta treat me like a child Cause it's getting old
And you say you care, but if you could hear the way you talk to me You could be so cold You've got pain I know I see But why you gotta take it out on me Don't bring me down Nothing has to last forever Don't bring me down If you wanna stay together You can push me only for so far, and you are If you want me around then Don't bring me down If you take me as I am And treat me like a man And do to me what you want done to you Then you will save my soul And I won't lose control Just like I've done it over and over before No more Just don't bring me down
