“I’m Goin' Down” was the second single from Mary J. Blige’s career-defining 1994 album My Life and a cover of the classic Rose Royce torch ballad from the soundtrack of the 1976 movie Car Wash.
R&B girl group Y?N-Vee released a music video covering the same Rose Royce song a day before Blige’s...
[Verse 1]
Time on my hands
Since you've been away, boy
I ain't got no plans, no no no no
And the sound of the rain, against my windowpane
Is slowly, is slowly drivin' me insane, boy
[Chorus]
I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down
'Cause you ain't around, baby
My whole world's upside down
[Verse 2]
Sleep don't come easy
Boy, please believe me
Since you've been gone, everything's goin' wrong
Why'd you have to say, “Goodbye”?
Look what you've done to me
I can't stop these tears from fallin' from my eyes, ooh baby
[Chorus]
I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down
'Cause you ain't around, baby
My whole world's upside down
[Bridge]
Ooh, baby love
Goin' down, goin' down
Mmm, I'm goin' down
Ooh I, I
[Chorus]
I'm goin' down
I'm goin' down
'Cause you ain't around, baby
My whole world's upside down
[Verse 3]
Ooh, goin' down, goin' down
Oh, I don't know what to do
If I ever lose you, I'll be goin' down
I said, “I'll be goin' down”
Oh, please forgive me, baby
I'm so sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
What did I do wrong?
I said, “What did I do wrong?”
Please forgive me, baby, and come on home
Goin' down
Goin' down
Goin' down
Mmm
