'I love you girl' that's what you used to say
And that no one would ever take it away
I gave you all I had inside, baby it's alright

But then you took the love right from my heart
It's funny how things so strong can fall apart
I gave you all I had inside, baby it's alright, ooh

One day you'll wear out the lines you always use
Why do you say that you'll change when you never do?
I've always found a reason to let it slidebaby not this time
Ooh, because I know where you're going from here
(Don't take me down with you)

Chorus:
Don't take me down (take me down with you)
'Cause I don't need no one and no one's ever gonna bring me down
Don't take me down (Don't take me down with you)
And I don't need no one and no one's ever gonna bring me down
You had someone; you had me to love

Why do we put up all these fronts?
There's something about the way that you loved me once
And why, why is it wrong to want it back again?

Oh no one day you'll wear out the lines you always use
Why do you say that you'll change when you never do?
I've always found a reason to let it slidebaby not this time
Ooh, because I know where you're going from here
(Don't take me down with you)

(Chorus)

Too many times, I've realized the truth
(don't take me down, don't take me down)
Too many times
I've seen enough, I've seen it enough to know
This time you're not, you're not gonna take me down
Down, down, down, down yeah

(Chorus)

Fade *you had someone,i don't need no one, you had someone you have me to love I don't need no one and no one's ever gonna take me down you have me to love repeat * ooh ooh your taking me down
