Got Me Down

Nina Gordon

And this is the way it's going to be

I gave him away and now I'm free

But he was the life I meant to lead

There's nothing left of me but

This is my melody



And why must the night crawl by like this

And why do we dwell on what we'll miss

I've got to be careful what I wish

My happiness was his

But this is my goodbye kiss



He got me down

And now I'm only singing for my health

Got me down and now I can't get up myself

Got me down oh turn around

And tell me when it's over

And it's time for me to get up off the ground



And there's really nothing left to say

But this couldn't wait another day

'Cause something confusing but Ok

Has got me in its sway

And this is my getaway



He got me down

And now I'm only singing for my health

Got me down and now I can't get up myself

Got me down oh turn around

And tell me when it's over

And it's time for me to get up off the ground



And though I try to hear you

Now I think we've built a wall

Of sound between us

And though you know I love you still

I think we've both just lost the will



He got me down

And now i'm only singing for my health

Got me down and now I can't get up myself

Got me down oh turn around

And wake me when it's over

And it's time for me to get up off the ground



He got me down

He got me down

He got me down
