Don't Take Me Down

Wilson Phillips
From "Shadows and Light"


"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 all right

But 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 all right

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 you)

Don't take me down
Don't 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 love

Ooh, why do we put up all the fronts
There's something 'bout 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 you)

Don't take me down
Don't 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 love

Too many times I've realized the truth
Don't take me down, don't take me down
(Too many times)
I've seen enough, I've seen it enough to know
This time you're not
You're not gonna take me down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
Down, down, down, down, yeah

Don't take me down
Don't 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
I don't need no one
You had someone
You had me to love

I don't need no one
And no one, no one's gonna bring me down
(Down, down, down, down)
You had me to love
I don't need no one
You had someone
I don't need no one
And you had me to love
(Down, down, down, down)
(Taking me down)
(Taking me down)
(Taking me down)
