lyrics

“Don’t Drag Me Down”

VERSE ONE
Back then I had nothing to lose
I had a pair of loose lips, a couple loose screws
I’d bring you bad news
And you’d bring me luck

VERSE TWO
These days I got something to prove
I’m looking on the bright side. I’m getting in the groove
I’ve been singing the blues
But things are looking up
Yeah, things are looking up

CHORUS
So don’t drag me down
Don’t drag me down
Let’s turn the page. I’ve been up all night, but it’s a brand new day
So don’t drag me down

VERSE THREE
Back then I wore my heart on my sleeve
I had blood on my hands. I was down on my knees
I’d always say please
And you were always grateful

VERSE FOUR
But these days you know I lie and deceive
I take what I want, but it’s not what I need
I just gotta believe
Things are looking up
Yeah, things are looking up

CHORUS
So don’t drag me down
Don’t drag me down
Let’s turn the page. I’ve been up all night, but it’s a brand new day
So don’t drag me down

BRIDGE
I don’t know what you’re talking about
I don’t know what you’re trying to say
But I find myself listening to you anyway
I don’t know why you’re feeling so low
I don’t know why you’re feeling so stuck
I’d like to remind you, things are looking up
Yeah, things are looking up

CHORUS
So don’t drag me down
Don’t drag me down
Let’s turn the page, I’ve been up all night but it’s a brand new day
So if you wanna stick around… then don’t drag me down
