Waiting for something to come around
and get my head out of the clouds
It's hard to find someone to trust
even within the thickest crowds
That's when you walked in the picture
That's when you changed up the scripture
That's when you stole my heart
and you tore my world apart
I've been slippin' down, slippin' down, slippin' down
Then someone like you comes around
You'll keep dragging me down, dragging me down, dragging me down
Until someone better comes around
NO!
You were waiting with open arms
with your goodies, gifts, and your charms
Waiting for a guy like me
to put down on my knees
That's when I changed my mind
That's when I let my eyes go blind
That's when I let you get away
and you begged me to stay
I've been slippin' down, slippin' down, slippin' down
Then someone like you comes around
You'll keep dragging me down, dragging me down, dragging me down
Until someone better comes around
DON'T BREAK ME DOWN
I've been slippin' down, slippin' down, slippin' down
Then someone like you comes around
You'll keep dragging me down, dragging me down, dragging me down
Until someone better comes around
You've been been pulling down, dragging me down, slippin' me down
