Down

Down Lyrics

Spent all my money on everyone else:
I just kept handin' it out, right an' left.
They didn't appreciate none of my help,
I had given.

I had me a girl: I was so much in love,
But she just walked off after using me up.
I cried like a baby, it hurt me so much,
An' I'm down, yeah, I'm just down.

I know that I'm down but I'm bound to get up;
I just need some time an'a streak of good luck.
An' you know that it's rough,
When you're bitin' the dust like I am.

You try to do right, but tell me, where does that get you?
People just use you an' then they forget you.
Well, it won't take me long to get my feet back on solid ground.
I'm just down.

Instrumental break.

When I get my life back in order again,
Well, I'll still be willin' to help out my friends.
An' if you need somebody on which to depend,
Look around.

I'll be spendin' my money on everyone else:
Yeah, I just kept handin' it out, right an' left.
I'll find a new love, I won't live by myself:
I'm just down, down, I'm just down.

I know that I'm down but I'm bound to get up;
I just need some time an'a streak of good luck.
An' you know that it's rough,
When you're bitin' the dust like I am.

You try to do right, but tell me, where does that get you?
Lovers just use you an' then they forget you.
Well, it won't take me long to get my feet back on solid ground.
I'm just down.

I'm just down.
Mmmm.

(You'll never keep me, you'll never keep me,
(You'll never keep me down.)
Oh yeah.
(You can't keep me; you'll never keep me,)
(You can't keep me down.)
