You got me runnin', goin' outta my mind
You got me thinkin' that I'm wastin' my time
Don't bring me down
No, no, no, no, no
I tell you once more
Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

You wanna stay out with your fancy friends
I'm telling you it's gotta be the end
Don't bring me down
No, no, no, no, no
I tell you once more
Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

Don't bring me down, grüß
Don't bring me down, grüß
Don't bring me down, grüß
Don't bring me down

What happened to the girl I used to know?
You let your mind out somewhere down the road
Don't bring me down
No, no, no, no, no
I tell you once more
Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

You're always talkin' 'bout your crazy nights
One of these days you're gonna get it right
Don't bring me down
No, no, no, no, no
I tell you once more
Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

Don't bring me down, grüß
Don't bring me down, grüß
Don't bring me down, grüß
Don't bring me down

You're lookin' good, just like a snake in the grass
One of these days you're gonna break your glass
Don't bring me down
No no no no no no no no no
I tell you once more
Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

You got me shakin', got me runnin' away
You got me crawlin' after you every day
Don't bring me down
No, no, no, no, no
I tell you once more
Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

I tell you once more
Before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down
