[Verse 1]
My chick is drivin' me crazy, she thinks that I'm lazy
Just because I'm good at nothing all day
My baby don't get it, so, my job, I quit it
Bust my ass, hell, I barely get paid
People like to put me down
And just because I hang around
Don't they understand it's my way?

[Chorus]
Say, I say, everybody tries to break me
Say they love me when they hate me
Baby, you just can't bring me down
I've seen long and lonely days
And I have lost and found my ways
So, baby, you just can't bring me down

[Interlude]
Yeah, bring me down

[Verse 2]
Baby, I'm leaving, you've got my heart bleeding
So, I'm taking the easy way out
The angel in my head's now the devil in my bed
If my walls could talk, they would shout
Baby, you can talk and talk, the hurt you caused, it just don't stop
I think I'm going out of my brain
[Chorus]
I say, everybody tries to break me
Say they love me when they hate me
Baby, you just can't bring me down
I've seen long and lonely days
And I have lost and found my ways
So, baby, you just can't bring me down

[Interlude]
Yeah, bring me down
C.C., give on

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 1]
I got a car, it go fast
Cute fuzzy dice up on the dash
Got a bumper sticker, just say "peace"
Keep a gun under my seat
To protect me from the pain
Should your words get in my brain?
Can't you love me just the same?
Can't you love me just the—

[Chorus]
Everybody tries to break me
Say they love me when they hate me
Baby, you just can't bring me down
I've seen long and lonely days
And I have lost and found my ways
So, baby, you just can't bring me down
Everybody tries to break me
Say they love me when they hate me
Baby, you just can't bring me down
I've seen long and lonely days
And I have lost and found my ways
So, baby, you just can't bring me down

[Outro]
Yeah, bring me down
