I'm Down

The Beatles

You tell lies thinking I can't see

You can't cry 'cause you're laughing at me

I'm down (I'm really down)

I'm down (Down on the ground)

I'm down (I'm really down)

How can you laugh when you know I'm down

(How can you laugh) when you know I'm down

Man buys ring, woman throws it away

Same old things happen every day

I'm down (I'm really down)

I'm down (Down on the ground)

I'm down (I'm really down)

How can you laugh when you know I'm down

(How can you laugh) when you know I'm down

We're all alone and there's nobody else

You still moan: 'Keep your hands to yourself!'

I'm down (I'm really down)

Oh baby I'm down (Down on the ground)

I'm down (I'm really down)

How can you laugh when you know I'm down

(How can you laugh) when you know I'm down

[Oh baby I'm down...

I'm feeling upside down...

Yeah...]
