Lyrics Don't Bring Me Down - Eric Burdon, The Animals

Don't Bring Me Down

When you complain and criticize
I feel I’m nothing in your eyes
It makes me feel like giving up
Because my best just ain’t good enough
Girl, I want to provide for you
And do all the things that you want me to, but
Oh, oh no!
Don’t bring me down
I’m beggin' you, darlin'
Oh, oh no!
Don’t bring me down
Sacrifices I will make
I’m ready to give as well as take
One thing I need is your respect
One thing I can’t take is your neglect
More than anything, I need your love
Then troubles are easy to rise above
Oh, oh no!
Don’t bring me down
Oh no, no, no, no, no
Oh, oh no!
Don’t bring me down
You complain and criticize
I feel I’m nothing in your eyes
It makes me feel like giving up
Because my best just ain’t good enough
Girl, I want to provide for you
Do all the things that you want me to, but
Oh, oh no!
Don’t bring me down
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I’m beggin'
Oh no!
Don’t bring me down
Oh no, no
Baby, please!
Oh, oh no!
Don’t bring me down
I need your tender lovin'
So please, don’t bring me down
Oh, baby, baby, baby, don’t hurt me
Don’t bring me down
Oh no, please don’t hurt me
