Edwin McCain Lyrics

Album: Honor Among Thieves

Don't Bring Me Down Lyrics

Well I don't drive a fast car

 You know it just ain't my style

 And I don't give a damn about that

 You know it ain't worth my while

 And I've been known to run around

 Burned some bridges in my time

 You know those girls tried to tie me down

 But my heart is still all mine

 

 Well Elvis had his blue suede shoes and Samson had his hair

 You know I got my music baby 

 And my dreams will take me there

 You know I don't smoke cigarettes 

 I don't see the point

 And if you're gonna put smoke in your lungs 

 Might as well smoke a joint

 

 Well I don't mind if you hang around 

 Just don't start talking that love talk baby

 Don't bring me down

 

 Well don't call me a scoundrel

 Baby don't call me a thief

 Don't look down your nose at me

 I don't need all your grief

 Join me and the jesters, singing for today

 Live life at its fullest

 Before it slips away

 

 Well I don't mind if you hang around

 Just don't start talking that love talk baby

 Don't bring me down

 

 Why you want to shoot me down

 I'm just trying to be your friend now baby

 But you lock the door, hide the key, hide under the bed

 You're gonna hide from me

 Come on baby, let me in...
