When you met me, I was lonely
Feeling nothing, going nowhere
It was time that I got them together
Baby told me I'd change my life
Now I'm standing in a corner
With my back up against the wall
Inspiration, God blessed me
Don't get me down, Lord I'm trying
Don't get me down, get me down,
Don't get me down, don't get me down,
When the sun shines through
You're my star, you can guide me home
Hold me close, girl, to your heart, girl
Don't get me down, don't ever let me go
Now you're standing in my corner
Lift your back up against the wall
Desperation cries to me, girl
but now you're ready to fall
Don't get me down, don't get down
But I'm trying, don't get me down
Desperation, stole my heartbeat
It left me, and it left me down
Don't get me down, Lord I'm trying
Don't me down, Lord I'm trying
Don't get me down, don't give up on me
