We're all widows and orphans here
Everybody's fillin' their bag of blues
Spillin' cursed love stories
And I pretend that I'm amused, I need you

Don't bring me down, don't bring me down today
Don't bring me down, don't bring me down today

I got her name on a tattoo
On the same knuckles that I hit the wall
And she was never sweeter
Than the distance that separated us, little girl

Don't bring me down, don't bring me down today
Don't bring me down, don't bring me down today

Don't bring me down
Don't bring me down
I am here on my own
Don't bring me down

Don't bring me down, don't bring me down today
Don't bring me down, don't bring me down today
