Don't Let It Get You Down

When no friends can't be found

And my girl is out of town

I come home to empty house

The telephone is all I haveWhen my plans don't work out

Mama says, don't let it get you down

Don't let it get you downThere's a club I can't get in

Every week it's the same damn thing

I get mad, I want to cry

It's my skin they don't likeWhen my plans don't work out

Mama says, don't let it get you down

Don't let it get you downNow my world don't look good

Not the way I know it should

And my time is running short

I didn't do all I oughtWhen my plans don't work out

Mama says, don't let it get you down

Don't let it get you downWhen my plans don't work out

Mama says, don't let it get you down

Don't let it get you down
