C                 F7
When you complain, and criticize
C                 F7
I feel I m nothing in your eyes
C                    F7
It makes me feel like giving up
C                         F7
Because my best just ain't good enough

G7                 G
Girl I want to provide for you
    G7                     G
And do all the things you want me to

Chorus:
C      A#                  C
Oh, oh no, don't bring me down
    A#
I'm beging you darling
C      A#                 G7
Oh, oh no, don't bring me down

Sacrifices I will 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

More than anything, I need your love
Then troubles are easy to rise above

Chorus:
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
Do all the things that you want me to, but

Chorus:
Oh, oh no, don't bring me down
Oh no, no, no
Oh, oh no, don't bring me down
