The Smithereens - Stop Bringing Me Down Lyrics

The Smithereens Lyrics

"Stop Bringing Me Down"

Hey girl, what's your name?
My name's Jimmy it's all the same anyway
Let's live for today
Say, by the way, do you mind if I stay for a while?

See the guy at the bar
Moved to LA and learned how to play guitar
He's a big rock star

Hey man, what's your name?
It seems like I've seen you now but what is your claim anyway?
Just go away

Stop bringing me down
Stop bringing me down
Stop bringing me down
Stop bringing me down

Had a band, had management
Had a record deal but it came and went
It's too late

Met a girl from Beverly Hills
I did all her drugs
And she paid all my bills
It was great

Hey kid, stop the rack
Stop fuckin' off soon as I turn my back
What a jerk, he wants me to work
Alright

Stop bringing me down
Stop bringing me down
Stop bringing me down
Stop bringing me down

Stop stop
Stop stop
Stop stop
Stop stop

Hey kid, don't think for yourself
Just put those boxes up on the shelf right away
Someday I'll be on top, I'll keep on goin' man I'll never stop
Fuckin' A
Right away sir

Stop bringing me down
Stop bringing me down
Stop bringing me down
Stop bringing me down
Stop bringing me down
Stop bringing me down
Stop bringing me down
Stop bringing me down
