Down
To the ground, baby
You sure know how to break it all down
To the ground, baby
Down
To the ground, baby
You sure know how to break it all down
To the ground, baby
Sure know how to break it all down
You've got to work me until you get what you need
(Sure know how to break it all down)
You've got to work it until it breaks, don't you see?
(Sure know how to break it all down)
You've got to work me until I'm starting to bleed
(Sure know how to break it all down)
Reset, erase me till I lose sight of my dreams
(Sure know how to break it all down)
You've got to need me 'cause I mean nothing to me
(Sure know how to break it all down)
You've got to work me into the dust you can't see
(Surе know how to break it all-)
I'm on the edgе of just screaming
Screaming out your name
But then I know that I'm dreaming
Dreaming my life away
Well, someone just had to stop me
Take me out of the frame
Sure know how to break it all down
Sure know how to break it all down
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, oh, boy
(Sure know how to break it all down)
But if this is working, it makes my play null and void
(Sure know how to break it all down)
Until I met you, I never worked for one day
(Sure know how to break it all down)
But now we're working, this work is starting to pay
(Sure know how to break it all down)
You've got to use me until I run out of juice
(Sure know how to break it all down)
But don't replace me, maybe a screw has come loose
I'm on the edge of just screaming
Screaming out your name
But then I know that I'm dreaming
Dreaming my life away
Well, someone just had to stop me
Take me out of the frame
(Down to the ground baby)
Break it down, don't bring me down, my baby
Break it down, right to the ground, my love
Break it down, don't bring me down, my baby
Break it down, right to the ground, my love
(Sure know how to break it all down)
