Takin' You Down

(album: Love Stinks - 1980)

(All right!)

They'll hit you with no warning
They'll gather by your plate
Holding all the cards,
They're dealing out your fate

A frozen wind is blowing
It coats your eyes with ice
Taking down your name
They say they know your price

It's hard to see what's right in front of you
They're taking you down
They'll be breaking you down
They'll be shaking you down
They'll be bringing you down
Oh they'll be taking you down...

They're gonna write you up
And then they're gonna write you off
They're making you so hard
You never can be soft

There's gotta be a limit
To what you're gonna stand
Oh, they're slapping you up
Taking all that they can

You can't believe what we're headed to
They're taking you down
They'll be breaking you down
They'll be shaking you down
They'll be bringing you down
Oh they'll be taking you down ...Lord!

It's hard to see what's right in front of you
They're taking you down
They'll be breaking you down
They'll be shaking you down
They'll be bringing you down
They'll be taking you down
They'll be breaking you down
They'll be shaking you down
They'll be breaking you down
Oh they'll be taking you down!
