Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Girl

Don't let love get you down

Girl

Don't let love get you down

Let love get you down

You down, you down

[Verse 2]

I know that you've been hurt by love once before

You said that you didn't wanna be loved no more

Girl, just don't sit around feelin' sorry for yourself

Just give your love to somebody else

[Verse 3]

Girl (Whoa)

Don't let love get you down

(Don't do it, don't do it)

Girl (Girl, girl)

Don't let love get you down

(Don't let it, don't let it)

Let love get you down

You down, you down

[Verse 4]

Dry up those tears, girl

And hold your head up high

It don't make sense for you to let life pass you by

Even though love didn't work out the very first time

There's somethin' you can do to ease your troubled mind

[Verse 5]

Girl (Don't let it, oh)

Don't let love get you down

(No, don't let it get you down, girl)

Girl (Baby)

Don't let love get you down (Don't let it)

Let love get you down

You down, you down

[Verse 6]

Whoa, oh, oh, girl

Don't let it

No, baby

Don't let it

Don't let it

No, no

[Verse 7]

Girl

(Don't let it, don't let it)

Don't let love get you down (No)

Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it (Oh)

(Don't do it, girl) Girl

Don't let love get you down

Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it

(Please don't, please don't do it, no)

Girl

Don't let love get you down

Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it (Don't do it, no)

[Verse 8]

Baby, baby, don't, don't let love get you down

Oh, no

Don't let it get you down, girl

Stop feelin' sorry for yourself

Go out and give that love to somebody else

Give it to me, girl

Give it to me

Girl

I'll take it

[Verse 9]

Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it (Oh)

(Don't, don't do it)

Girl (Well, yeah)

Don't let love get you down

Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it

(Don't let love, don't let love get you down)

Girl

Don't let love get you down (Don't do it, don't do it, baby)

Don't do it, don't do it, don't do it, don't do it (Don't do it, no)

Girl (Girl, yeah)

Don't let love get you down
