Damn the way you always bring me down
Can't you say a single thing that's true
I'm sorry baby
You can take a perfect day and turn it right around
I'm afraid there ain't no way to please you
It's okay, 'cause it don't matter now
Go your way and I'll go my way too
I'm sorry darling
Find some new somebody
Who you'd rather be around
Leaving may be just the way to please you
**Chorus
Darling, good love shouldn't feel so bad
This fighting might feel righteous
But it's wrong
We just make each other mad and lonesome
So tell me why the hell
We tried so long
One more line, and I'll be down the road
Do me one more dirty, girl, I'm gone
Ain't it you who used to say "Life's too short to live this way"
Baby, I believe that life's too long
**Repeat Chorus
Damn the way you always bring me down
