When you complain and criticize
I feel like nothing in your eyes
It makes me feel like givin up
Because my best just aint good enough
Girl I want to provide for you
And do the things you want me to

But oh, oh no
Dont bring me down
Said darlin, darlin, darlin, darlin
Oh, oh, no
Dont bring me down

The sacrifices I will make
Im ready to give as well as take
Something I need is your respect
Something I cant take is your neglect
And more than anything I need your love
Until its easy to rise above

And oh, oh, no
Dont bring me down
Said darlin, darlin, darlin, dont hurt me
Oh, oh, no
Dont 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 aint good enough
Girl I want to provide for you
Do the things that you want me to

But oh, oh, no
Dont bring me down
Said darlin, darlin, darlin, Im beggin you
Oh, oh, no
Dont bring me down
Said darlin, darlin, darlin, darlin
Oh, please, oh, no
Dont bring me down
Darlin, darlin, stop it, darlin
Oh, oh, no
Dont bring me down
