Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You tell lies thinkin' I can't see

You can't cry 'cause you're laughin' at me

[Verse 2]

I'm down (I'm really down)

I'm down (Down on the ground)

I'm down (I'm really down)

How can you laugh when you know I'm down?

How can you laugh when you know I'm down?

[Verse 3]

Man buys ring, woman throws it away

Same old thing happen every day

[Verse 4]

I'm down (I'm really down)

I'm down (Down on the ground)

I'm down (I'm really down)

How can you laugh when you know I'm down?

(How can you laugh) When you know I'm down?

[Verse 5]

Ow!

[Verse 6]

We're all alone and there's nobody else

She'll still moan, "Keep your hands to yourself!"

[Verse 7]

I'm down (I'm really down)

I'm beam on down (Down on the ground)

I'm down (I'm really down)

How can you laugh when you know I'm down?

(How can you laugh) when you know I'm down?

[Verse 8]

Down

[Verse 9]

Oh babe, you know I'm down (I'm really down)

I guess I'm down (I'm really down)

I'm down on the ground (I'm really down)

I'm down (I'm really down)

Oh, babe, I'm upside down

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 10]

I'm down (I'm really down)

Oh, baby, I'm down (I'm really down)

I'm feeling upside down (I'm really down)

Ooh, I'm down (I'm really down)

[Verse 11]

Baby, I'm down, yeah

Oh baby, I'm down, yeah

Baby, I'm down (I'm really down)

Oh baby, I'm down (I'm really down)

Oh baby, baby, baby (I'm really down)

I'm down, down, down, down, down Down, down, down, down, yeah
