Don't that bring you down, down, down [Repeat: x4]

Don't give yourself away
Don't live your life that way
Of course he's gonna say
Anything you want
He'll leave quicker than he came
Now you've got yourself to blame
Don't put yourself back in the fire again

It's the same damn thing, you're so quick to believe
And do it over and over again
And its the same mistakes that I'm watching you make
And do it over and over again

So before they bring you down
(you gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything)
'Til you fall for anything, 'til you fall for,
You gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything
('Til you fall for anything, 'til you fall for)

Don't that bring you down, down, down (x4)

Oh
Please don't be so naive
Don't wait 'til your heart bleeds
Love wasn't built for speed
Listen to me girl
He keeps fucking with your head, tryin' to get you into bed
And in the morning you'll just hate yourself

It's the same damn thing, you're so quick to believe
And do it over nd over again
And it's the same mistakes that I'm watching you make
And do it over and over and over again

Before they bring you down,
(you gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything)
'Til you fall for anything, 'til you fall for
You gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything
('Til you for anything, 'til you fall for)

Don't that bring you down, down, down [Repeat x4]

Can you give until there's nothing to give until
There's nothing to give until there's nothing to give

Can you give until there's nothing to give until
There's nothing to give until there's nothing to give

Can you give until there's nothing to give until
There's nothing to give until there's nothing to give

Before they bring you down,
(you gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything)
'Til you fall for anything, 'til you fall for.
You gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything
('Til you fall for anything, 'til you fall for)
You gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything
('Til you fall for anything, 'til you fall for)
You gotta stand for something or you'll fall for anything
('Til you fall for anything)

Before they bring you down, down down
Don't that bring you down, down, down [Repeat x4]
