When you complain and criticize
I feel like 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
And oh, oh, no
Don`t bring me down
Said darlin`, darlin`, darlin`, don`t hurt me
Oh, oh, no
Don`t bring me down
When you complain and criticize
I feel like 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
Do the things that you want me to
But oh, oh, no
Don`t bring me down
Said darlin`, darlin`, darlin`, I`m beggin` you
Oh, oh, no
Don`t bring me down
Said darlin`, darlin`, darlin`, darlin`
Oh, please, oh, no
Don`t bring me down
Darlin`, darlin`, stop it, darlin`
Oh, oh, no
Don`t bring me down
