I Gotta Be Down

[Intro]
Ah, yeah, yeah, yes
Gotta be down

[Verse 1]
Well, he hurt you, and he made you cry
There's nothing I would do to see your smile again
Your sweet face, ooh, is so divine
You're one in a million, you're a precious jewel

[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, each time you cry, I will dry your eye
When you feel alone, know I'm on your side
To give you so much love and hold you in my arms
And never let go

[Chorus]
I gotta be down (I wanna be down, baby)
I gotta stay down for you, baby
(When he does you wrong, the wrong's gonna be down)
I gotta be down (Hey, oh)
I gotta stay down for you, baby (I, I, I, I, yes)

[Verse 2]
Girl, you're all I know, you're the real thing
No matter come what may, I'll be by your side
I'll sacrifice for you every hour, every minute, baby
Just to be with you is a lifetime

[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, each time you cry, I will dry your eye
When you feel alone, know I'm by your side
To give you so much love and hold you in my arms
And never let go

[Chorus]
I gotta be down (I wanna be down)
I gotta stay down for you, baby
(No matter what the world may say)
I gotta be down (Giving you sweet love, sweet love, sweet love)
I gotta stay down for you, baby
(I'm gonna stay here 'til the end of time)

[Bridge]
You know, baby, you're all I dream about
You're all I want
He's never gonna hurt you again
I wanna be down, yeah, yes
When the world, when the world treats you wrong, sugar

[Chorus]
I gotta be down (Yeah, yes)
I gotta stay down for you, baby
(When the world, when the world treats you wrong, sugar
I'm gonna always love you, love you, love you, baby)
I gotta be down (You see, I love you so)
I gotta stay down for you, baby (I gotta be down for your love, yeah, yeah)

[Outro]
I gotta be down (No matter what they do, I do)
I gotta stay down for you, baby
(You're all I know, I wanna be down)
I gotta be down
