[Intro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 1]
Don't let no one, no one
Get you down
'Cause if they do, if they do
I'll be around
I want you near, standing here by my side
So my dear, wipe those tears from your eyes
[Break]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
Don't let no one, no one
Get you down
'Cause if they do, if they do
I'll be around
I wanna see, you 'round me
All the time
I want you to know that I am yours
And you are mine
[Outro]
Don't you let nobody get you down (Hey)
Don't you let nobody get you down
Don't you let nobody get you down
Don't you let nobody get you down (I'll keep your dreams high)
(I'll bring you up, never down) Don't you let nobody get you down (Just stick around)
(You keep me happy all the time) Don't you let nobody get you down
(You keep me happy, happy, all the time) Don't you let nobody get you down
(You, you, you, you, you, you, you-you, good for my mind) Don't you let nobody get you down
