Don't Bring Me Down
Love Betrayed: Unraveling the Bittersweet Tale of 'Don't Bring Me Down'
Lyrics
It used to be such a good thing
Reflecting on a past positive experience or relationship.
Such an easy feeling
Describing a comfortable and effortless emotional state.
I didn't know you were looking
Unawareness of the other person's intentions or actions.
Didn't know you were stealing
Realizing the other person was taking or benefiting inappropriately.
I was loving you when we were alone
Expressing love during private moments.
But you had other ideas of your own
Awareness of conflicting intentions or actions.
Word gets around
Information spreading among people.
Don't bring me down
Requesting not to negatively affect one's emotions or mood.
We used to have us some good times
Recalling enjoyable past experiences.
Used to laugh together
Reminiscing about shared laughter and joy.
It took awhile to realize
Realization that the relationship was not ideal.
You were wantin' something better
Understanding the partner's desire for something better.
When we were kissin' I closed my eyes
Describing intimate moments with closed eyes.
But you were lookin' at the other guys
Awareness of the partner's wandering attention.
I played the clown
Playing a foolish or naive role in the relationship.
Don't bring me down
Reiterating the request not to cause emotional distress.
It used to be such a good thing
Repeating the nostalgic sentiment of a once-good relationship.
Such an easy feelin'
Re-emphasizing the ease and simplicity of the past feelings.
I didn't know you were lookin'
Unawareness of the partner's searching or seeking behavior.
I didn't know you were stealing
Realizing the partner's inappropriate taking or actions.
I went and messed it up and fell in love
Acknowledging personal mistakes and falling in love.
But you sure know how to make it rough
Recognition of the partner's ability to create difficulties.
You're still around
Expressing the continued presence of the partner.
Don't bring me down
Reiterating the plea not to negatively impact one's emotions.
