Down So Long Songtext
von Sting

I′ve been down so long,
Being down don't bother me

I′ve been down so long,
Being down don't bother me
I'm gonna take all my troubles,
Drown ′em in the deep blue sea

I work hard every day
Come straight home at night
No matter how hard I try to please her
She just don′t treat me right

I've been down so long,
Being down don′t bother me
I'm gonna take all my troubles,
Drown ′em in the deep blue sea

I bought her a fur coat for christmas
And a diamond ring
She's got the nerve to tell me
That love don′t mean a thing


I've been down so long,
Being down don't bother me
I′m gonna take all my troubles,
Drown ′em in the deep blue sea

(Come on Ken)

Down so long
Down so long
I've been down so long
I′ve been down so long
I'm gonna take all my troubles,
Drown ′em in the deep blue sea

I've been down so long,
Being down don′t bother me
I've been down so long,
Being down don't bother me
I′m gonna take all my troubles,
Drown ′em in the deep blue sea

Down Down Down Down
Down so long
Down so long
Down so long
Down so long

I'm gonna take all my troubles,
Drown ′em in the deep blue

Take all my troubles,
Drown 'em in the deep blue

Take all my troubles,
Drown ′em in the deep blue sea
