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
