You tell lies thinking I can’t see
You can’t cry ’cause you’re laughing at me
I’m down, I’m down, I”m down
How can you laugh when you know I’m down
How can you laugh when you know I’m down
Man buys ring, woman throws it away
Same old thing happen every day
I’m down, I’m down, I”m down
How can you laugh when you know I’m down
How can you laugh when you know I’m down
We’re all alone and there’s nobody else
She’ll still moan “Keep your hands to yourself”
I’m down, I’m down, I”m down
How can you laugh when you know I’m down
How can you laugh when you know I’m down, woo
A baby you know I’m down
I guess I’m down
I’m down on the ground
I’m down
Ah, baby I’m upside down
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I’m down
