Don't Bring Me Down
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It used to be such a good thing
Such an easy feeling
I didn't know you were looking
Didn't know you were stealing
I was loving you when we were alone
But you had other ideas of your own
Word gets around
Don't bring me down
We used to have us some good times
Used to laugh together
It took awhile to realize
You were wantin' something better
When we were kissin' I closed my eyes
But you were lookin' at the other guys
I played the clown
Don't bring me down
It used to be such a good thing
Such an easy feelin'
I didn't know you were lookin'
I didn't know you were stealing
I went and messed it up and fell in love
But you sure know how to make it rough
You're still around
Don't bring me down
