When you complain and criticize    I feel I'm nothing in your eyes    It makes me feel like giving up    Because my best just ain't good enough    Girl, I want to provide for you    And do all the things that you want me to, but       Oh! Oh no, don't bring me down    I'm beggin' you darlin'    Oh! Oh no, don't bring me down       Sacrifices, I will make    I'm ready to give as well as take    One thing I need is your respect    One thing I can't take is your neglect    More than anything, I need your love    Then troubles are easy to rise above       Oh! Oh no, don't bring me down    Oh, no no no no no    Oh! Oh no, don't bring me down       You complain and criticize    I feel I'm nothing in your eyes    It makes me feel like giving up    Because my best just ain't good enough    Girl, I want to provide for you    Do all the things that you want me to, but       Oh! Oh no, don't bring me down    No no no no no no no    I'm beggin' oh no, don't bring me down    Oh no no, baby       Please! Oh no no, don't bring me down    I need your tender lovin'    So please, don't bring me down    Oh, baby baby baby don't hurt me    Don't bring me down    Oh no, please don't bring me down ....       Please baby, don't bring me down    You know I need you, oh woman    You can't do that to me, because, 'cause I love you    Don't hurt me, don't hurt me, please, I need you ....
