I love you, girl, that's what you used to say
And that no one would ever take it away
I gave you all I had inside, baby it's alrightBut then you took the love right from my heart
It's funny how things so strong can fall apart
I gave you all I had inside, baby it's alright, oohOne day you'll wear out the lines you always use
Why do you say that you'll change when you never do?
I've always found a reason to let it slide, baby not this time
Ooh, because I know where you're going from here
Don't take me down with youDon't take me down, take me down with you
'Cause I don't need no one and no one's ever gonna bring me down
Don't take me down, don't take me down with you
And I don't need no one and no one's ever gonna bring me down
You had someone, you had me to loveWhy do we put up all the fronts?
There's something about the way that you loved me once
And why, why is it wrong to want it back again?Oh no, one day you'll wear out the lines you always use
Why do you say that you'll change when you never do?
I've always found a reason to let it slide, baby not this time
Ooh, because I know where you're going from here
Don't take me down with youDon't take me down, take me down with you
'Cause I don't need no one and no one's ever gonna bring me down
Don't take me down, don't take me down with you
And I don't need no one and no one's ever gonna bring me down
You had someone, you had me to loveToo many times, I've realized the truth
Don't take me down, don't take me down
