When you complain and criticize
I feel I'm nothing in your eyes
It makes me feel like giving up
Because my best just ain't good enough
Girl, I want to provide for you
And do all the things that you want me to, but...

Oh! Oh no Don't bring me down
I'm beggin' you darlin'
Oh! Oh no Don't bring me down

Sacrifices, I will make
I'm ready to give as well as take
One thing I need is your respect
One thing I can't take is your neglect
More than anything, I need your love
Then troubles are easy to rise above

Oh! Oh no Don't bring me down
Oh, no no no no no
Oh! Oh no Don't bring me down

You complain and criticize
I feel I'm nothing in your eyes
It makes me feel like giving up
Because my best just ain't good enough
Girl, I want to provide for you
Do all the things that you want me to, but...

Oh! Oh no Don't bring me down
No no no no no no no
I'm beggin' Oh no Don't bring me down
Oh no no Baby
Please! Oh no no Don't bring me down
I need your tender lovin'
So please don't bring me down
Oh, baby baby baby don't hurt me
Don't bring me down
Oh no, please don't hurt me
