don't take me down

'i love you girl' that's what you used to say

and that no one would ever take it away

i gave you all i had inside

baby it's alright

but then you took the love right from my heart

it's funny how things so strong can fall apart

i gave you all i had inside

baby it's alright

ooh

one day you'll wear out the lines you always use

why do you say that you'll change when you never do?

i've always found a reason to let it slide.baby not this time. ooh

because i know where you're going from here

don't take me down

'cause i don't need no one and no one's ever gonna bring me down. don't take me down

and i don't need no one and no one's ever gonna bring me down. you had someone; you had me to love. why do we put up all these fronts?

there's something about the way that you loved me once. and why

why is it wrong to want it back again?

oh no. one day you'll wear out the lines you always use

why do you say that you'll change when you never do?

i've always found a reason to let it slide.baby not this time. ooh

because i know where you're going from here

too many times

i've realized the truth

too many times. i've seen enough

i've seen it enough to know

this time you're not

you're not gonna take me down

down

down

down

down. yeah
