Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers – Don't Bring Me Down lyrics
When you complain and criticize
I feel I'm nothing in your eyes
It makes me feel like givin' up
Because my best just ain't good enough

Girl I want to provide for you
And do the things you want me to

But oh, oh no don't bring me down
Said, "Darlin', darlin', darlin', darlin'
Oh, oh no don't bring me down"

The sacrifices I will make
I'm ready to give as well as take
Something I need is your respect
Something I can't take is your neglect

And more than anything I need your love
Until it's easy to rise above

But oh, oh no don't bring me down
Said, "Darlin', darlin', darlin', darlin'
Oh, oh no don't bring me down"

When you complain and criticize
And I feel I'm nothing in your eyes
It makes me feel like givin' up
Because my best just ain't good enough

Girl I want to provide for you
And do the things you want me to

But oh, oh no don't bring me down
Said, "Darlin', darlin', darlin', darlin'
Oh, oh no don't bring me down"

Said, "Darlin', darlin', darlin', darlin'
Oh, oh no don't bring me down
Oh, oh no don't bring me down"
