Lyrics

YOU BEAT ME DOWN

And outside my window the sky is flat and grey
depending on the way you feel,
you might say

That it's a little better than yesterday
the sun might break through
but then again it could rain

And isn't it all a bit like me and you
we've hit some kind of flat spot
between the old and the new

And I feel a little better than yesterday
it's gotta be said woman
you beat me down

And if we were honest people acted like we should
then maybe we'd just get out
while the getting was good

And while we're being honest
I think your friends are clowns
you all just bore me stupid
You beat me down

I was just about to tell you what I mean by beat me down
Then I decided that when it comes to it
You're really not worth my time

And I feel a little better than you'd ever allow
There's no way I'm ever gonna
let You beat me down
