Swing me way down south Sing me something brave from your mouth And I'll bring you Pearls of water on my hips And the love in my lips All the love from my lips You don't like the sound of the truth Coming from my mouth

I'm going down, going down the drain Don't bring me down, I beg you Don't bring me down, I won't let you I'm going down, I don't want to change Don't bring me down, Faint light of dawn I'm listening to you breathing in and breathing out Needing nothing

Please don’t let me bring you down I’m not sure I can do it Did you think I was fucking around? Living here is a game I don’t know how to play Are you really not anybody Until somebody knows your name? I’m not sure where that’s going Somebody used to

Gotta be above it And I know that I gotta be above it now And I gotta bide my time as a face in the crowd And I cannot let them all just bring me down I'll just close my eyes and make so that all the things don't affect me now And I know that I can't let

Don't bring me bad news, no bad news I don't need none of your bad news today You're a sad little boy, anyone can see you're just a sad little boy That's why you're carrying on that way Why don't you burn it all down, burn your own house down, burn your

I'm swinging with my eyes closed Fist up in the air Oh like we don't care Only god knows how far it goes Got my hair down a wide open road Summer's here, bring it on Another year, one more beer, another song Comes on the radio, so loud and clear

Bringing together you and me Taking in that frequency, yeah Of the love that we should know Slow down pretending that you know Where we're supposed to go through generations Of just getting told, don't question the control Working on to buy a life before

Don't you bring me down today Don't you bring me down today Every day is so wonderful And suddenly, it's hard to breathe Now and then, I get insecure From all the pain, I'm so ashamed I am beautiful no matter what they say Words can't bring me down I am

You want that ambulance to pick me up and take me on that ride, yeah Hoping that they don't revive a nigga and bring me back to life And you shot me down, shot me down, shot me down, shot me down, shot me down That's all right (buck, buck) I don't die

I was just about to leave It don't seem that late now I thought the party was windin' down Gonna stay now Bring the Tanqueray I'll See how this plays out Until you looked at me But hey now look what I just found Look what I just found
