[Lyrics]
When you complain, and criticize
I feel I'm nothing in your eyes
It makes me feel like giving up
Because my best just ain't good enough
Girl I want to provide for you
And do all the things you want me to
Oh, oh no, don't bring me down
I'm begin' you darlin'
Oh, oh no, don't bring me down
Sacrifices how we make
I'm ready to give, as well as take
One thing I need is your respect
One thing I can't take is your neglect
Woman anything I need your love
And troubles are easy to rise above
Oh, oh no
Don't bring me down
Oh no, no, no
Oh, oh no
Don't bring me down
You complain, and criticize
I feel I'm nothing in your eyes
It makes me feel like giving up
Because my best just ain't good enough
Girl I want to provide for you
And do all the things you want me to
Oh, oh no, don't bring me down
No, no, no, no, no
I'm Beggin'
Oh, oh no, don't bring me down
