Stop Bringing Me Down Songtext
von The Smithereens

Hey girl, what′s your name?
My name's Jimmy, it′s all the same, anyway

Let's live for today
Say, by the way, do you mind if I stay for a while?
See the guy at the bar
Moved to LA and learned how to play guitar
He's a big rock star

Hey man, what′s your name?
It seems like I′ve seen you now, but what is your claim anyway?
Just go away

Stop bringing me down (stop, stop bringing me down)
Stop bringing me down (stop, stop bringing me down)
Stop bringing me down (stop, stop bringing me down)
Stop bringing me down (stop, stop bringing me down)

Had a band, had management
Had a record deal but it came and went
It's too late


Met a girl from Beverly Hills
I did all her drugs
And she paid all my bills
It was great

Hey kid, stop the rack
Stop fuckin′ off soon as I turn my back
What a jerk, he wants me to work
Alright

Stop bringing me down (stop, stop bringing me down)
Stop bringing me down (stop, stop bringing me down)
Stop bringing me down (stop, stop bringing me down)
Stop bringing me down (stop, stop bringing me down)

Stop, stop
Stop, stop
Stop, stop
Stop, stop

Hey kid, don't think for yourself
Just put those boxes right up on the shelf right away

Someday I′ll be on top
I'll keep on goin′, man, I'll never stop
Fuckin' A
Right away, sir


Stop bringing me down (stop, stop bringing me down)
Stop bringing me down (stop, stop bringing me down)
Stop bringing me down (stop, stop bringing me down)
Stop bringing me down (stop, stop bringing me down)
Stop bringing me down (stop, stop bringing me down)
Stop bringing me down (stop, stop bringing me down)
Stop bringing me down (stop, stop bringing me down)
Stop bringing me down (stop, stop bringing me down)
