Cause they’ll bring you down, down, down x4 

Don’t keep yourself away 
Don’t live your life that way 
Of course he’s gonna say anything you want 
Then leave quicker than he came now you got yourself to blame 
Don’t put yourself back in the fire again 

It’s the same damn things you’re so quick to believe 
You do it over and over again 
And it’s the same mistakes that I’m watching you make 
You do it over and over again 

So before they bring you down 
You’ve gotta stand for something or you’ll fall for anything 
Fall for anything 
You’ve gotta stand for something or you’ll fall for anything 
Fall for anything 

Cause they’ll bring you down, down, down x4 

Oh, please don’t be so naïve 
Don’t wait ‘till your heart bleeds 
Love wasn’t built for speed, listen to me girl 
He keeps fuckin’ with your head, tryna get you into bed 
And in the morning you’ll just hate yourself 

It’s the same damn things you’re so quick to believe 
You do it over and over again 
And it’s the same mistakes that I’m watching you make 
You do it over and over and over again 

So before they bring you down 
You’ve gotta stand for something or you’ll fall for anything 
Fall for anything 
You’ve gotta stand for something or you’ll fall for anything 
Fall for anything 

Cause they’ll bring you down, down, down x4 

And you give until there’s nothing to give 
Until there’s nothing to give 
Until there’s nothing to give x3 

Before they bring you down 
You’ve gotta stand for something or you’ll fall for anything 
Fall for anything 
You’ve gotta stand for something or you’ll fall for everything 
Fall for anything 
You’ve gotta stand for something or you’ll fall for anything 
Fall for anything 
You’ve gotta stand for something or you’ll fall for anything 
Fall for anything 

Before they break you down, down, down 
Cause girl they’ll bring you down, down, down 
Cause they’ll bring you down, down, down 
Cause they’ll bring you down, down, down
