Don't Bring Me Down Lyrics

You got me runnin', goin' out of my mind
You got me thinkin' that I'm wastin' my time

Don't bring me down
No, no, no, no, no
Ooh-ooh-hoo
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

You wanna stay out with your fancy friends
I'm tellin' you, it's got to be the end

Don't bring me down
No, no, no, no, no
Ooh-ooh-hoo
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

Don't bring me down, groos
Don't bring me down, groos
Don't bring me down, groos
Don't bring me down

What happened to the girl I used to know?
You let your mind out somewhere down the road

Don't bring me down
No, no, no, no, no
Ooh-ooh-hoo
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

You're always talkin' 'bout your crazy nights
One of these days, you're gonna get it right

Don't bring me down
No, no, no, no, no
Ooh-ooh-hoo
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

Don't bring me down, groos
Don't bring me down, groos
Don't bring me down, groos
Don't bring me down

You're lookin' good, just like a snake in the grass
One of these days, you're gonna break your glass

Don't bring me down
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Ooh-ooh-hoo
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

You got me shakin', got me runnin' away
You got me crawlin' up to you everyday

Don't bring me down
No, no, no, no, no
Ooh-ooh-hoo
I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down, down, down, down, down, down

I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor
Don't bring me down

What is the Meaning of Don't Bring Me Down?

This classic track by Electric Light Orchestra resonates with themes of frustration and longing for change within a tumultuous relationship. The protagonist feels mentally exhausted and drained due to the actions of his partner, who seems to be more invested in her social life than their relationship. The repeated plea, "Don't bring me down", indicates a desperate cry for positivity and upliftment. This song can also be seen as an anthem for self-respect, with the singer asserting his need for better treatment before he 'gets off the floor'. It's a timeless reminder that everyone deserves respect and happiness in a relationship, and that it's important to voice out when one feels otherwise.
