Down on me, down on me,

Love in this world is so hard to find

When you've got yours and I got mine.

Saying they're down on me, down on me.

Down on me.

When you see a hand that's held out toward you,

Give it some love, some day it may be you.

They're down on me, yeah.

Lord, they're down on me, down on me, oh!

Believe in your brother, have faith in man,

Help each other, honey, if you can

Because it looks like everybody in this whole round world

I'm saying down on me, oh, down on me, oh!

It looks like everybody in this whole round world

Down on me!
