You don't cry 'cos you're laughing at me
 I'm down (I'm really down)
 I'm down (down on the ground)
 I'm down (I'm really down)
 How can you laugh when you know I'm down
 (How can you laugh) when you know I'm down

 Man buys ring woman throws it away
 Same old thing happens every day
 I'm down (I'm really down)
 I'm down (down on the ground)
 I'm down (I'm really down)
 How can you laugh when you know I'm down
 (How can you laugh) when you know I'm down

 We're all alone and there's nobody else
 You still moan: "Keep your hands to yourself"
 I'm down (I'm really down)
 I'm down (down on the ground)
 I'm down (I'm really down)
 How can you laugh when you know I'm down
 (How can you laugh) when you know I'm down
 Don't you know that I'm down (I'm really down)
 Don't you know that I'm down (I'm really down)
 Down on the ground (I'm really down)
 Don't you know that I'm down (I'm really down)
 Down, down, down
