Das sind die Original-Lyrics von "Don´t bring me down" von Elo

You got me runnin', goin' out of my mind

You got me thinkin' that I'm wastin' my time

Don't bring me down

No, no, no, no, no, ooh-ooh-hoo

I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor

Don't bring me down

You wanna stay out with your fancy friends

I'm tellin' you it's got to be the end

Don't bring me down

No, no, no, no, no, ooh-ooh-hoo

I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor

Don't bring me down

Don't bring me down

Grooss

Don't bring me down

Grooss

Don't bring me down

Grooss

Don't bring me down

What happened to the girl I used to know?

You let your mind out somewhere down the road

Don't bring me down

No, no, no, no, no, ooh-ooh-hoo

I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor

Don't bring me down

You're always talkin' 'bout your crazy nights

One of these days you're gonna get it right

Don't bring me down

No, no, no, no, no, ooh-ooh-hoo

I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor

Don't bring me down

Don't bring me down

Grooss

Don't bring me down

Grooss

Don't bring me down

Grooss

Don't bring me down

You're lookin' good, just like a snake in the grass

One of these days you're gonna break your glass

Don't bring me down

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, ooh-ooh-hoo

I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor

Don't bring me down

You got me shakin', got me runnin' away

You got me crawlin' up to you everyday

Don't bring me down

No, no, no, no, no, ooh-ooh-hoo

I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor

Don't bring me down, down, down, down, down, down

I'll tell you once more before I get off the floor

Don't bring me down
