I'm Goin' Down Lyrics

Time on my hands
Since you been away boy
I ain't got no plans
No no no no
And the sound of the rain
Against my windowpane
Is slowly, is slowly drivin' me insane, boy

I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down
'Cause you ain't around, baby
My whole world's upside down

Sleep don't come easy
Boy please believe me
Since you been gone
Everything's goin' wrong
Why'd you have to say goodbye
Look what you've done to me
I can't stop these tears from fallin' from my eyes
Ooh baby

I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down
'Cause you ain't around, baby
My whole world's upside down

Ooh baby, love
Goin' down, goin' down
Mmm ooh I'm goin' down
Ooh I, I

I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down
'Cause you ain't around, baby
My whole world's upside down

Ooh, goin' down
Goin' down
Oh, I don't know what to do
If I ever lose you
I'll be goin' down
I said I'll be goin' down
Oh, please forgive me, baby
I'm so sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
What did I do wrong?
I said, what did I do wrong?
Please forgive me, baby
And come on home
Goin' down, goin' down, goin' down
